Feature request: generate warnings in void context in assignment statements

[EvanCarroll]

I wrote about this on StackOverflow when I observed it didn't generate a warning. This is the code,

$ perl -wE'sub foo {1}; sub bar {2}; sub baz {3}; my @foo = foo(), bar(), baz();

I found the underlying problem easily. But I think it may just be an oversight that it doesn't generate a warning. Seems pretty silly not to anyway.

The problem is this is not an "assignment statement", despite what it looks like to you knowing what your intent was; it is a statement with 3 expressions each executed in void context, one of which is an assignment. For instance, this is perfectly valid and extremely common, and the only difference is that the expressions are executed in list context: foo(my $x = 42, $y, $z)

What exactly are you requesting? Emit a warning whenever a function is called in void context?

@Grinnz that makes sense. Thanks.
