I think Lee is referring to the fact that conditionals (not just 'if',
but all conditionals) can be used in one of two ways, as compound
statements:
CONDITIONAL (TEST) {
BLOCK
}
or as statement modifiers:
STATEMENT CONDITIONAL TEST;
Lee, have you read the 'statement modifiers' and 'compound statement'
portions of 'perldoc perlsyn'? You may find that this clarifies this
issue for you.
