That's unnecessary--the comma still works perfectly fine for this,
since comma still evaluates its arguments left-to-right. The *only*
difference about comma is what it returns in scalar context. Most uses
of the so-called C-style comma (including this one) are actually in
void context, and in that case whether the return value is a list or
the final value Doesn't Really Matter.
