> Binary "and" ... is equivalent to && except for the very low precedence

They do the same except for precedence, i.e. for many other operations "op"

• A op B and C means (A op B) and C
• A op B && C means A op (B && C)

much the same way as

• 2 + 3 * 4 means 2 + ( 3 * 4 )

See https://perldoc.perl.org/perlop#Operator-Precedence-and-Associativity for more on "precedence"

updates

added the 2+3*4 part
