For two inputs, there are 16 operations. Most of them are rarely useful, which is why we don't have Perl operators for them.

By the way, everything can be implemented solely with nand:

 p | q | p nand q
---+---+----------
 0 | 0 |    1
 0 | 1 |    1
 1 | 0 |    1
 1 | 1 |    0

not p   === p nand p
p and q === (p nand q) nand (p nand q)
p or q  === (p nand p) nand (q nand q)
p xor q === (p nand (q nand q)) nand ((p nand p) nand q)

Other operatations could also be used instead of nand. nor, for example:

 p | q | p nor q
---+---+---------
 0 | 0 |    1
 0 | 1 |    0
 1 | 0 |    0
 1 | 1 |    0

~(p nor q)


not p   === p nor p
p and q === (p nor p) nor (q nor q)
p or q  === (p nor q) nor (p nor q)
p xor q === [something very long]

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
