in reply to weird begginer's problem...
A preference as well, although it may save you some trouble later:
foo() || die "bar"vs
foo() or die "bar"The || is of higher precedence than or. Using or (at least in the action or die pattern) can help avoid some sneaky precedence bugs.
Update: Added example below
perl -e 'print 1 - 1 || die "hello"'vs
perl -e 'print 1 - 1 or die "hello"'--MidLifeXis
