That's because the (scalar) operator of an op= imposes scalar context on the lists and so only the last element of each list is affected:
c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"my ($x, $y, $z) = (30, 40, 50);
($x, $y, $z) += (3, 4, 5);
print qq{$x, $y, $z};
"
Useless use of a constant in void context at -e line 1.
Useless use of a constant in void context at -e line 1.
Useless use of private variable in void context at -e line 1.
Useless use of private variable in void context at -e line 1.
30, 40, 55
Raku can do these kinds of list operations; see
Raku Programming/Meta Operators.
Update: I'm not aware that you can do this with pure lists in Perl 5, but it can certainly be done with arrays:
c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"my @ra = (30, 40, 50);
my @rb = ( 3, 4, 5);
;;
$ra[$_] += $rb[$_] for 0 .. $#ra;
print qq{@ra};
"
33 44 55
And via
List::MoreUtils::pairwise():
c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"use List::MoreUtils qw(pairwise);
use vars qw($a $b);
;;
my @ra = (30, 40, 50);
my @rb = ( 3, 4, 5);
;;
my @rc = pairwise { $a + $b } @ra, @rb;
print qq{@rc};
"
33 44 55
or
c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"use List::MoreUtils qw(pairwise);
use vars qw($a $b);
;;
my @ra = (30, 40, 50);
my @rb = ( 3, 4, 5);
;;
pairwise { $a += $b } @ra, @rb;
print qq{@ra};
"
33 44 55
(The
use vars qw($a $b); statement quiets some warnings.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
