This is actually a precedence issue, rather than an order of operations issue. || has high-precedence, so that chmod 0777, $file || die "That didn't work so well"; is parsed as chmod 0777, ($file || die "That didn't work so well"); As Tal suggested, you should be using "or" instead. (Putting parentheses around chmod's arguments would also work.) If that's still not working, it would probably be helpful to know what platform you're running Perl on.
