I can't imagine the expression result behavior of Perl's logical operators ever going away. There is a large amount of Perl idiom that bakes in that behavior so huge amounts of code would break if that changed. I'm sure the behavior isn't an accidental result of a weird coding decision, but was fully thought out with a view to allowing nice fall back processing using the logical or operators.
