I think the truth table for "The ^ operator" is wrong. I think it should be:
| Bit 0 | Bit 1 | Bit 0 ^ Bit 1
| | 0 | 0 | 0
| | 0 | 1 | 1
| | 1 | 0 | 1
| | 1 | 1 | 0
|
Also: "&&" works by evaluating the right operand, and if and only if that returns a true value the left operand is evaluated and that result is returned. "||" works similar, but only evaluates the left operand if the right operand was false.
This is incorrect. Perl always works from left to right. See:
$a = 0;
$b = 0;
$c = $a++ && $b++; # only $a++ is evaluated
print "a = $a, b = $b\n"; # prints "a = 1, b = 0"
And:
$a = 0;
$b = 0;
$c = ++$a || ++$b; # only ++$a is evaluated
print "a = $a, b = $b\n"; # prints "a = 1, b = 0"
Otherwise I think this can go to Tutorials as well...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
