In your open statement, || is evaluated before the comma, so your statement is parsed as open FILE, (">test.txt" || $failed_flag = 1); giving the syntax error. Actually the || operator also has higher precedence than the = operator so it is parsed as open FILE, (">test.txt" || $failed_flag) = 1; which is why you get the error Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment
