PS.: what you’re saying there *can* be expressed:
( my ( $result ) = $dbic->resultset( 'MyApp' )->find( xxx ) ) || ...;
That makes the assignment as a whole the left-hand side of the
boolean op, so the right-hand side of the assignment is not
affected by the boolean op’s enforced scalar context.
And this would indeed break if `find` returns undef explicitly,
because the return value of a list assignment in scalar context
is the number of rvalue elements, which would be 1 when an undef
is returned.
