Perl Programming - Conditional Statements

Conditional Statements
Conditional statements provide boolean context `if` statement controls the following block `if, elsif, else` Yes, that does say `elsif`. Oh well. `unless` is opposite of `if` Equivalent to `if (not $boolean)` `unless, elsif, else` There is no `elsunless`, thankfully. my ($a, $b) = (0, 1); if (!$a && !$b) {print "Neither\n";} # Conventional if (not $a and not $b) {print "Neither\n";} # Same, but in English if (not ($a or $b)) {print "Neither\n";} # Same, but parentheses unless ($a or $b) {print "Neither\n";} # Same, but clearest
