You're absolutely right. Logical And binds more tightly than Logical Or: http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl/pod/perlop.pod#Logical_And I was thinking that they had equal preference and went left-to-right, in which case I would have been correct. But I was wrong. That's what I get for using parentheses all the time, even when they're not strictly needed. :) -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.roaringpenguin.com MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
