Works? Well, sort of. It assigns "value" to $t if $url does not
contain a true value, but if $url contains a true value,

That was in reply to someone that suggested get $url or "error", which
wouldn't work unless you put parenthesis. That's why I said "If you
use that, you could do this..."

my $t = get ($url) or "error"; would make more sense.

it does not
tell whether the get() function succeeds or why it fails.

Right.

You can also use:

my $t = get $url || "There was a problem";

Same objection.


True.
