I don't write a lot of CGI programs, so I'm not going to be an authority on use of the param() function -- but it may be complicating that line more than necessary. I'm guessing that you call it on these two fields at least twice - once (here) to see if its empty, and again later to use it.
You may want to take that out of the question by assigning each to a scalar value. Then this works:
my $tele = '';
my $mobile = '';
# uncomment to pass
# $tele = 'hello';
if( length($tele) || length($mobile) ){
print 'At least one is OK';
}
else {
print 'both are empty';
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
