in thread BUG when parsing defined-or ?

> That would require fixing the grammar of the Perl 5 programming language; the major version surely should be incremented then and the backwards-incompatible result should be called Perl 6... oh wait...

I mainly upvoted because of this pun! xD

But the backwards-incompatibility resulting from fixing this should only affect previously not compilable code.

And the grammar doesn't need to be changed, just the analysing technique improved.
