Re: Context tutorial

in reply to Context tutorial

You can tell which kind of context an operator has by checking the standard Perl documentation. Every operator that creates a list context has "LIST" in its syntactic description.

Where are these syntactic descriptions? I don't see them in perlop, where some of the descriptions are vague or silent on the issue of context in which operands are evaluated.

They're in perlfunc. But I do think that that line in the tutorial should probably say Every operator that creates a list context for its operands ... just to be very clear. Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.	[reply]
