The only difference between "||" and "or" is the precedence, and the precedence of "=" lies between them. To my understanding, in the "assign or die" special case, my $a=do_something_which_can_fail() or handle_exception(); is more logic than my $a=do_something_which_can_fail() || handle_exception(); because something should be assigned to $a, and if that fails, the app should e.g. die. This way, the exception handling is not part of the assignement. On the other side, I would use my $a=do_something_which_can_fail() || provide_some_default(); because the exception handling consists of providing a value. Just my personal way to look at it :-) joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
