六、赋值操作符
Table 3.3. 赋值操作符
| 操作符 | 描述 |
| = | Assignment only |
| += | Addition and assignment |
| -= | Subtraction and assignment |
| *= | Multiplication and assignment |
| /= | Division and assignment |
| %= | Remainder and assignment |
| **= | Exponentiation and assignment |
| &= | Bitwise AND and assignment |
| |= | Bitwise OR and assignment |
| ^= | Bitwise XOR and assignment |
Table 3.4. 赋值操作符例子
| 表达式 | 等效表达式 |
| $a = 1; | none (basic assignment) |
| $a -= 1; | $a = $a - 1; |
| $a *= 2; | $a = $a * 2; |
| $a /= 2; | $a = $a / 2; |
| $a %= 2; | $a = $a % 2; |
| $a **= 2; | $a = $a ** 2; |
| $a &= 2; | $a = $a & 2; |
| $a |= 2; | $a = $a | 2; |
| $a ^= 2; | $a = $a ^ 2; |
.=可在一个赋值语句中出现多次，如：
$value1 = $value2 = "a string";
.=作为子表达式
($a = $b) += 3;
等价于
$a = $b;
$a += 3;
但建议不要使用这种方式。
七、自增自减操作符 ：++、--(与C++中的用法相同)
.不要在变量两边都使用此种操作符：++$var-- # error
.不要在变量自增/减后在同一表达式中再次使用：$var2 = $var1 + ++$var1; # error
.在PERL中++可用于字符串，但当结尾字符为'z'、'Z'、'9'时进位，如：
$stringvar = "abc";
