Agreed, but I was trying not to nitpick :)
I was trying to focus on the 'structural' issues, not 'stylistic' ones,
but now that you mention it, the English versions of some of the operators
('or' instead of '||', 'and' instead of '&&') do seem to make code much
more readable.
open(FILE,">hello.txt") or die("Cannot Open File: $!");
