Come-on guys! Read your mails. John Krahn spent the time to write a
wonderful explanation why || simply DOES NOT WORK when used with open
(although it works for the general case, which does not constitute the term
'works'). Don't lure beginners into thinking this is a matter of style (like
I used to think myself). There is a very rigid logical explanation behibd
it, and whether you are a beginner or not doesn't change the facts.
I did not say that it does not work, for example this is completely
acceptable:
open( IN, $file ) || die "error: $!";
