in reply to Re^2: regex return true instead of false (precedence)
in thread regex return true instead of false

I agree that it's better to over use brackets than forgetting them.

On the other hand there's a good reason why Perl has that many operators.

And, not, or won't bite you in Boolean expressions because they have the lowest precedence. (But I use brackets when combining them, I need a complicated mnemonic to remember that and has higher precedence than or)

And !~ is really underused.
