No, it isn't. While && behaves properly when the condition turns out to be true, the result of the condition turning out to be false is whatever the condition turned out to be. Still, Damian has a good point - which renders the bulk of this discussion moot. The one thing left to consider (IMHO) is whether or not it's worthwhile (or even possible) to go back to '$c ? $t : $f' or to '$c ? $t ! $f'. As I said, the primary concern originally expressed about the Perl 5 syntax involved matters of ambiguity which seem to have been resolved since then. A case could be made that if the Perl 5 syntax for this doesn't clash with the rest of Perl 6, it should be used: anything else would be change for change's sake. -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang
