well, actually you cant *just* use || instead of or, seeing || binds
tighter...
just try running this bit of code, and you'll see what i mean:
if($c || $d = 2) { print "foo" }
thus, if you use || and you wish to compare like you do, you *have* to use
parens
correct code would therefor be
if($a

First, that's NOT the code you have. If it IS, it's broken.
if ($x eq 'a' or $x eq 'test' or $x eq 'return' or $x eq 'x-retu
