Re^2: sorting array of hashes using multiple keys conditionally

I'm wondering why || doesn't cause a precedence problem here? I use "or" like below in this situation.

update: looked up precedence table and spaceship (<=>) and cmp have much higher priority than I thought, so I guess this is ok either way.

@a = sort {
    $a->{key1} <=> $b->{key1}
                or
    $a->{key2} <=> $b->{key2}
} @a;

I'm wondering why \|\| doesn't cause a precedence problem here? Because the `\|\|` operator has lower precedence than the comparison operators like `<=>` for example. See perlop.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
