[ID 20000118.005] map's {} block can't parse list starting with literal



Contents of a map's {} block are being misparsed when (at least) first
item is a literal.

2 and 3, below, should be interchangeable, but only 3 is parseable:


[1 is just from perldoc -f map]
1: perl -ce '%hash = map { foo($_), $_ } @array;'
-e syntax OK

2: perl -ce '%hash = map { "foo", $_ } @array;'
syntax error at -e line 1, near "} @array"
-e had compilation errors.

3: perl -ce '%hash = map { ("foo", $_) } @array;'
-e syntax OK



4: perl -V
