Yeah, but it's also the case that || isn't a logical or, where you'd
expect short-circuiting logic to apply. It's a bitwise or, so regardless
of the boolean status of $ptologfile, || will cause the die to execute, so
it's status can be or'd with $ptologfile. Or something close to that. I
have to go re-read the operators page. Obviously.

Thanks,
