Me? Why? I just couldn't line *without* defined-or after I first encountered it, so I backported it to 5.8.x (after some patch from someone else) and people thought it would be a good idea to semi-officially allow it to be available for all. Officially, defined-or is *NOT* available in perl-5.8.x. End of story. *ALL* my production code expects defined-or to be available. > I just do not have the _time_ to recompile Perl 5.8 for msysGit!
