Sorry, I should have checked myself.  defined-or "//" is 5.8.1 or later.

From what I've read:

       http://perldoc.perl.org/perl581delta.html#Future-Directions

The defined-OR only exists for 5.8.1 in patch form, and it's only directly
supported in 5.10.0:

       http://perldoc.perl.org/perldelta.html#Defined-or-operator

:-(

I started this new thread to address Junio's question about the oldest
supported Perl version, so that tidbit isn't really relevant and I
should've trimmed it from the new thread. Nonetheless, thank you for
the correction again again, and enjoy your new MUA. :-)
