a true value, negative values will be passed to C<FETCH>, C<STORE>,
C<EXISTS>, and C<DELETE> unchanged.
-=head2 Fewer parentheses needed with C<? :>
-
-The grammar of the conditional operator (C<$x ? $y : $z>) has been
-broadened so that any operator may appear between the C<?> and the
-C<:> without parentheses. Previously, the comma operator and the
-low-precedence logical operators had required parentheses in this
-context. For instance, you may now write
-
- $x ? $a and $b : $c
-
-as a shorter version of the more explicit
-
- $x ? ($a and $b) : $c
-
-Perl is now compatible with C in this regard. However, writing the
-parentheses is still recommended as a matter of style.
