As Perl is not a language to compile and run separately, "fails to build" does not look like what exactly is going on. "gives a warning and then refuses to run"? "gives a warning before running"? Something else? > Added parentheses avoid this issue. We phrase such "this is how the patch addresses the issue" statement in imperative, as if we are telling the codebase to become-like-so, e.g., "Enclose the pattern matching =~ in parentheses to force the right order of binding", or something like that.
