That should be:

You'll also need to get your logic correct or you might find that
reducing to if (1) {}

Testing a scalier for two possible values at once
I need to test a scalier to see if its value is not two possibilities,
because this test is being done inside a while loop I can not use an elsif
statement without things getting ugly. I have tried it like this if
($scalier nq 'A') || ($scalier nq 'B') { but that just gave me a syntax
error when I tried to run it.
