true false ? : expression thingy

I'm not sure what this method is called, which is perhaps why I've had no
luck when searching around the web for info on it, but when you want a
1-line alternative to an if...else.. construct, you can use the following
syntax:
$ctr > 3 ? $text = "yes" : $text = "no";
that works fine, however, when I try this:
my $incsubs;
$line =~ /\ts/i ? $incsubs = 0 : $incsubs = 1;
it doesn't work.. well, $incsubs equals 1 regardless whereas it works in the
standard if...else.. construct.
I guess this is because the regular expression doesn't return true/false, or
sth like that.. is there a "trick" you can use to make this type of method
work with regexps?
