in reply to How should I read print .. if .. and ?

Basically, it's Perl shorthand for this: 
if ($rows++ and $lsep)
{
  print $fh $lsep;
}

Meaning, if the two conditions are true, print $fh and $lsep print $lsep to filehandle $fh.

Update: Doh! Wasn't paying attention at all ($fh should have tipped me that it was a filehandle :c\). Thanks for the correction, RMGir!

    ...print $fh and $lsep.

    Close. It means print $lsep to the file pointed to by filehandle $fh.

    Printing $fh and $lsep would be: 

       print $fh, $lsep; # note the comma!
