Smartmatch with regex in list context

[Moritz Lenz <moritz@casella.verplant.org>]

Hi,

$ perl -wMstrict -E "say scalar (my @a = 'aaa' =~ /./g)"
3
$ perl -wMstrict -E "say scalar (my @a = 'aaa' ~~ /./g)"
1

(from http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=708150 ), both with perl 5.10.0
and blead.

Is this intentional? If yes, we should add s small warning to perlsyn.
I'd prefer to have =~ and ~~ behave the same in list context.

Cheers,
Moritz
