Re^4: Confused by a couple of idioms

The higher precedence of && can be illustrated by the difference between these two:

$ perl -E '$foo = 1 && $bar = 3; say $foo'
3
$ perl -E '$foo = 1 and $bar = 3; say $foo'
1

This is why the word operators ( and or not ) should generally be used for control flow instead of the high-precedence symbolic operators ( && || ! ). HTH.
