Re: 'or' Bug Bear

As for the multiple actions, instead of

or (print ...; print ...)

use this:

or do {print ...; print ...}

That should do the trick.

One other thing, do use strict, but not inside the subroutine; put it on the top of the script.

Note that the OP was using `or (print ..., print ...)`, not `or (print ...; print ...)`. While the `do` solution you provide is probably better, you can also do `or (print(...), print(...))`. The parentheses prevent the first print from eating everything that follows as its parameters.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
