Selecting Between Two Aggregates

Perlでの||演算子とor演算子の違いについて、podに良例が記載されているのを見つけました。

In particular, this means that you shouldn't use this for selecting
between two aggregates for assignment:

    @a = @b || @c;              # this is wrong
    @a = scalar(@b) || @c;      # really meant this
    @a = @b ? @b : @c;          # this works fine, though

perlopのC-Style Logical Or節です。また、同じくperlopのLogical or and Exclusive Or節にも興味深い記述があります。

Binary "or" returns the logical disjunction of the two surrounding
expressions.  It's equivalent to || except for the very low precedence.

  $a = $b or $c;              # bug: this is wrong
  ($a = $b) or $c;            # really means this
  $a = $b || $c;              # better written this way
