in thread Error in Camel Book Ver2?

syntax error at or.pl line 1, near "|| ="
That's a Perl4 (or earlier) error message. Please upgrade to a version of Perl that was released sometime after the Spice Girls hit the pop charts.

    merlyn, I've gotta say this was a great laugh for this morning =] Maybe future versions of perl should be named after the current music sensation of the time of release. =]

    Perl 4 didn't support overloading = with ||?

    If so, did it support the = and || operators?

    And if so, couldn't we use this: $value = $value || 'DEFAULT'; to accomplish the same thing?

    (Not that I don't support the idea of upgrading Perl to a recent version, but the Spice Girls are pretty old news themselves. *grin*)
