so... it negates the left side, then ANDs it with the right?

also, it seems to be rather vague to me.

in order to sound clearer, I think it would need to be written as

if (not defined $foo but $foo eq '') {

but then, what does this give us besides another way to write 'and'?
I could be missing something basic here, ignore me if I am.
