This is actually a precedence issue, rather than an order of operations
issue.
|| has high-precedence, so that
chmod 0777, $file || die "That didn't work so well";
is parsed as
chmod 0777, ($file || die "That didn't work so well");
As Tal suggested, you should be using "or" instead. (Putting parentheses
around chmod's arguments would also work.)
If that's still not working, it would probably be helpful to know what
platform you're running Perl on.
