I'm reading up on perl today and find this in perldoc perlop:

Comma Operator

Binary "," is the comma operator. In scalar context it evaluates its
left argument, throws that value away, then evaluates its right
argument
and returns that value. This is just like C's comma operator.

What is C's comma operator?

Hmmm... You bothered to "read up" on Perl today. Why did you not likewise "read up" on C? I mean a simple Google search of 0.0123 seconds of "c comma operator" gives the results you seek. And it probably would have taking 6.234 times less time than it took you to compose your post.

It is an operator that evaluates its left argument, throws that value
away, then evaluates its right argument and returns that value.

It is just like Perl's comma operator.

This is a footnote from n1336.pdf:

100) A comma operator does not yield an lvalue.

Is this also true in perl?

I think if you're going to do a movie about Reagan you do it about the fact
that he created the huge deficit, that he armed the mujahadeen, that he
armed Saddam, that he armed Iran, he armed 2/3s of the Axis of Evil, he
funded terrorists in Central America, he was in my mind a terrible
president.

C> perl -e "$x,$y = 42; print qq(x=$x, y=$y)"
x=, y=42

C> perl -e "$x,$y = 42; print qq(x=$x, y=$y)"
R> x=, y=42

there is no lvalue in that first statement. comma binds lower than = so
that was $x followed by $y = 42 which works. the problem is finding a
way to have a comma operator which binds tighter than =. using parens
won't work since that makes a list and it isn't a comma op anymore but a
list element separator.

and finally WTF is franken sense asking dumb sidebar questions and
getting answers. he needs to focus on learning perl and not obscure side
issues like comma ops and lvalues (i bet he doesn't even know what the term
lvalue means)

When you encounter seemingly good advice that contradicts other seemingly
good advice, ignore them both.
