`http://perldoc.perl.org/5.10.1/perlop.html#Logical-or,-Defined-or,-and-Exclusive-Or` Perhaps add your comments above as to the brief availablity of `err` after the mention of `xor`. Ikigama's observation that you might not even need the lower-precedence version would be good to tell people, too.	[reply] [d/l]

I've just browsed that page, and I don't see the word "`err`" being mentioned anywhere at all, so I have nothing to fix. The current docs only mention `err` in the delta files for 5.9.x: `perl-git/pod > grep -w err * perl590delta.pod:It has a low-precedence counterpart, C<err>, which ha +s the same precedence perl593delta.pod:(adds a C<say> built-in function), and C<err> (adds a +n C<err> keyword). perl593delta.pod:Note that C<err> low-precedence defined-or operator u +sed to be enabled by perldebtut.pod: DM<3>X ~err perlhack.pod:documented. If you are going to err, it is better to err +on the side of perltodo.pod: errno_t err = fopen_s(&f, __FILE__, "r"); perl-git/pod >` [download] Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]
Re^8: What's the opposite of // (err) operator? by John M. Dlugosz (Monsignor) on May 12, 2011 at 06:20 UTC
No, /err/ is not mentioned. The Header says "or, exclusive or, and defined or" and gives keywords for or and xor. The err was already removed, but the header was not adjusted. Remove "defined or" from the list of things being shown!	[reply]
