Doing both in while statements is very common:
while( my $line = <$fh> ) {
...
}
Try to write that loop with two separate statements, one an assignment and the
other an if statement, and you may see the advantage of the currently-allowed
syntax.
The general policy is that assignment statements return a value that may be
further used or tested.
