true and false are barewords with no special meaning in Perl.

Moreover, you should use strict: it would have told you

Bareword "false" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at - line 1. Bareword "true" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at - line 2.

The common value used for true is 1, for false, you can use 0, "" or undef.

Also, $a and $b are special variables used in sort, it's better not to use them anywhere else.

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $A = 0; my $B = 1; print "Value of \$A = $A and value of \$B = $B\n"; my $c = ($A and $B); print "Value of \$A and \$B = $c\n"; $c = ($A && $B); print "Value of \$A && \$B = $c\n"; $c = ($A or $B); print "Value of \$A or \$B = $c\n"; $c = ($A || $B); print "Value of \$A || \$B = $c\n"; $A = 0; $c = not($A); print "Value of not(\$A)= $c\n";
