in thread Short Circuit Operator and Hash Assignment
You're hitting an edge case. The optimization had a different situation in mind:
if( 1 && foo() ) { . . . } elsif( 0 || bar() ) { . . . }
This optimization is hardly unique to Perl. I believe both C and Java compilers will optimize away constants in exactly the same way.
