First, I'd like to note that people above are absolutely correct; it was incredibly stupid from me not to realize the power of short-circuit ||. Well, to be exact, I did consider some sort of short-circuit tricks but for some reason I couldn't figure that out.

As for you point, I don't agree. Operators are generally better read than functions for two-way operations, at least for english speakers, don't you think? Saying "implies A to B" when you mean "A implies B" is just plain weird, and if you disagree, replace word 'implies' with 'and'; they're both binary operators. "and(A,B)" doesn't sound that good, does it?

Besides, as of perl5-something, => forces left side to be string. Hmm. I wonder if that does any harm, though... I can't bother go experimenting with that.

...

Besides, as I said, it was minor issue, don't confuse me for princepawn reborn for talking about perl core when I'm barely an Adept :I I just still think that implication operator would look neater than function call - where needed; it might not be needed.

As for xor precedence, my point holds, "xor" operator has so cumbersomely low precedence that I have to be throwing parenthese (sp?) here and there not to break something. Not nice.
