I have a strange behavior I do not really understand. I want to print out some lines with processing and some other without.
What I did in the first place was something like this: 
use strict;
use warnings;

my @test = qw(no_proc line_to_proc1 line_to_proc2);
for (@test) {
    print $_ . "\n" && next if /no_proc/; #no processing
    print "$_ : in proc \n";              #processing
}

this does not work, i.e it prints only the 'processing' lines.

So I changed the first print line to 

    print ($_ . "\n") && next if /no_proc/;

This gives the output I want, but also the note 
print (...) interpreted as function at ...

So I ended up using an if statement 
    if (/no_proc/){
        print $_ . "\n";
        next;
    }

That works again without any notes, but still leaves me wondering if and how it could be done with a modifier if.
Any insight welcome.
