Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMixedBooleanOperators
Conway advises against combining the low-precedence booleans ( and or not ) with the high-precedence boolean operators ( && || ! ) in the same expression. Unless you fully understand the differences between the high and low-precedence operators, it is easy to misinterpret expressions that use both. And even if you do understand them, it is not always clear if the author actually intended it.
and or not
&& || !
next if not $foo || $bar; #not ok next if !$foo || $bar; #ok next if !( $foo || $bar ); #ok
