Howdy list.
I'm trying to one lineify this:

my $guts = $firstchoice || ''; 
if(!$guts && $use_second_choice_if_first_is_empty) { 
        $guts = $secondchoice;
}

Basically 
my $guts = $firstchoice || $secondchoic || ''; 
Would be perfect except I only want to let it use $seconchoice if 
$use_second_choice_if_first_is_empty has a true value.
This does not work like I want but illustrates the goal if you read it our loud.
my $guts = $firstchoice || $secondchoic if $use_second_choice_if_first_is_empty || '';

Is that possible to do with one line?

TIA

Dan
