The xor keyword
xor is a logical exclusive OR operator that has a very low precedence, but is otherwise equivalent to ^. For logical reasons, it cannot short-circuit.
Syntax
VALUE xor VALUE
Examples
The code
$a = 5; # 0101
$b = 8; # 1000
print $a xor $b . ", " . $a ^ $b . "\n"; # Returns 5 prints only the first variable, as the first operator is valid: 5
