Post #199,715 by broomberg 3/21/05 10:20:57 AM Reply	Suggestion \nopen DEVICE, $file \|\| die "Cannot open $file: $!\\n";\n Either: open (DEVICE, $file) \|\| die "Cannot open $file: $!\\n"; or open DEVICE, $file or die "Cannot open $file: $!\\n"; but NEVER open DEVICE, $file \|\| die "Cannot open $file: $!\\n"; The "or" has lower precedence. You can get into a situation where logic on the right hand side of the \|\| gets executed before the open. Very bad habit.
