Just a little correction on your explenation:
$/="o" || "p" || "q"; will assign 'o' to $/, not 'q'.
the || short circuits, meaning it will assign the *first* true value, not
the last.
in short, 'p' or 'q' won't even be evaluated, since 'o' evaluates to true.
you might have seen syntax like:
open (I, "foo.txt") || die $!
if you're explanation would be correct, this script would always die....
try it, and print it out...
