I think OWTDI is
if (fred_is_alive() | tom_is_alive()) {
buddies_are_alive();
}
'|' is bitwise or, as in C. Check perldoc perlop for details.
However, it might be cleaner just to do something like
my ($fred, $tom) = (fred_is_alive(), tom_is_alive());
if ($fred or $tom) {
buddies_are_alive();
}

You can use `grep' for non-short-circuit `or':
if (grep $_, is_foo(), is_bar()) { ... }
and the appropriate De Morgan transformation for `and':
unless (grep !$_, is_foo(), is_bar()) { ... }
But it'd be a lot clearer to use subroutines like these:
sub every { for (@_) { return unless $_ } return 1 }
sub some { for (@_) { return 1 if $_ } return }
because you can then write
if (some is_foo(), is_bar()) { ... }
if (every is_foo(), is_bar()) { ... }
(The names `every' and `some' are from Common Lisp.)

How about removing one character:
if (fred_is_alive() | tom_is_alive()) {
buddies_are_alive();
}
You might want to put a comment after this, though, so anyone who reads it
in the future doesn't think it's a typo.

This approach is likely to fail, because, `|', `&' and `^' are not only
bitwise operations, but string bitwise operations too. They behave like
&& and || for canonical booleans (namely 1 and ''), but may fail for
generalized booleans. For example,
"0 but true" & "t" ==> "0"
!!"0 but true" & !!"t" ==> 1

Well, I don't know about the TCP side, but :
1. your script does not read the HTTP request that the
browser sends you
2. your script does not send back any HTTP reply
3. the HTML code you send back is invalid
No wonder your browser has trouble handling the connection
correctly...
I would recommend that you read up on the HTTP protocol,
and examine some existing HTTP scripts (like webget or libwww
for example). They'll show you what the client sends (and expects).
For integration of Perl with Apache, have a look at mod_perl.
And I believe there's also a small HTTP server written entirely
in Perl somewhere...
Good luck,
Michel.

=====
- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" email address and name.

I could send him a lot of emails. In fact, maybe an archive of last
month's clpm postings comes to mind. Or some subscriptions to some

The reasons have to do (I believe) with the file system used by Unix and
its variants (which some on this ng apparently believe is so obvious and
self-evident that it doesn't need to be described).
In Unix, you can have more than one link to a single file. This allows you
to have a single file "live" in two or more different directories, or to
live under different names in the same directory. It always seemed kind of
weird to me, coming from a non-Unix background, but that's the way it
works (note that this is different from a symbolic link, which is more
akin to a "shortcut" on Windows or an "alias" on a Mac).
Anyway, when you "unlink" a file, you are just removing one of the
(possibly multiple) names for that file. When you remove the last link,
the file is deleted.

You spammed a Perl newsgroup with your ad, but didn't even have the
sense to include Perl in the list of languages you claim to support.
Silly you!

Subject: Zip Support For Perl
Message-Id: <7l828j$ipb$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Is anyone aware of support for PKZip type ".zip" files?
I am developing a multi-platform perl program and need to be able to use
".zip" files from all systems.
Thanks alot!

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.

]It is possible to subscribe to comp.lang.perl.moderated as a mailing list.
]To do so, send mail to majordomo@eyrie.org with "subscribe clpm" in the
]body. Majordomo will then send you instructions on how to confirm your
]subscription. This is provided as a general service for those people who
]cannot receive the newsgroup for whatever reason or who just prefer to
]receive messages via e-mail.
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
