Not that it helps particularly with this particular expression, but the output from B::Deparse is often enlightening.
I love the fact that perl turns that into a low precedence boolean operator used for flow control and a postfix if. P::C must get righteously apoplectic :)
C:\test>perl -MO=Deparse,p
use 5.010;
sub apple { say "apple" }
sub banana { say "banana" }
sub cherry { say "cherry" }
apple && (banana || cherry)
^Z
sub BEGIN {
require 5.01;
}
sub apple {
no feature;
use feature ':5.10';
say 'apple';
}
sub banana {
no feature;
use feature ':5.10';
say 'banana';
}
sub cherry {
no feature;
use feature ':5.10';
say 'cherry';
}
no feature;
use feature ':5.10';
banana or cherry if apple ;

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).
