Hello, I am trying to learn perl at the moment, with the help of O'Reilly's Learning Perl (2nd ed). I am up to chapter 7 and I am having a bit of a hard time visualizing solutions to the exercises. Part of the problem is they throw the abreviated versions at you a bit too fast. I like seeing things spelled out the long way, so I can figure out exactly how the code is working. Take for example Ch 7 Ex 2. The brief answer is: 
while (<STDIN>) {
   if (/a/i && /e/i && /i/i && /o/i && /u/i)) {
       print;
   }
}

Clear enough, but to make sure I am following what is happening I tried writing it out the long way, and failed, telling me that I don't truly understand the concept of what is happening. Essentially I have this: 
while ( defined ($line = <STDIN>) ) {
   if ($line =~ (/a/i && /e/i && /i/i && /o/i && /u/i)) {
      print $line;
   }
}

I know it is something simple, but I can't put my finger on it... I'm sure everyone reading this sees how stupid I am being, so can someone let me in on the joke? Thanks.
