in reply to Any difference in conditionals?

when I use perl -MO=Concise test.pl, I get:

if ($x1) { if ($x2) { print "here\n"; } } a <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC ->(end) 1 <0> enter ->2 2 <;> nextstate(main 5 if.pl:1) v ->3 - <1> null vK/1 ->a 4 <|> and(other->5) vK/1 ->a - <1> ex-rv2sv sK/1 ->4 3 <#> gvsv[*x1] s ->4 - <@> scope vK ->- - <0> ex-nextstate v ->5 - <1> null vK/1 ->- 6 <|> and(other->7) vK/1 ->a - <1> ex-rv2sv sK/1 ->6 5 <#> gvsv[*x2] s ->6 - <@> scope vK ->- - <0> ex-nextstate v ->7 9 <@> print vK ->a 7 <0> pushmark s ->8 8 <$> const[PV "here\n"] s ->9
And then the more concise:
if ($x1 && $x2) { print "here\n"; } a <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC ->(end) 1 <0> enter ->2 2 <;> nextstate(main 3 if.pl:1) v ->3 - <1> null vK/1 ->a 6 <|> and(other->7) vK/1 ->a - <1> null sK/1 ->6 4 <|> and(other->5) sK/1 ->6 - <1> ex-rv2sv sK/1 ->4 3 <#> gvsv[*x1] s ->4 - <1> ex-rv2sv sK/1 ->- 5 <#> gvsv[*x2] s ->6 - <@> scope vK ->- - <0> ex-nextstate v ->7 9 <@> print vK ->a 7 <0> pushmark s ->8 8 <$> const[PV "here\n"] s ->9
...and if I have ignored the optimized-out ops properly, they are identical.
