I just skimmed perlop again and it doesn't seem to explicitly say
that&& and || and other related operators return the last

something that you need to know from experience (many other
languages with similar features to Perl also work this way).
perlop (In the second paragraph at
<http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#C-style-Logical-Defined-Or>) reads:
The "||", "//" and "&&" operators return the last value evaluated
(unlike C's "||" and "&&", which return 0 or 1).
