Me? Why?
I just couldn't line *without* defined-or after I first encountered it,
so I backported it to 5.8.x (after some patch from someone else) and
people thought it would be a good idea to semi-officially allow it to
be available for all.
Officially, defined-or is *NOT* available in perl-5.8.x. End of story.
*ALL* my production code expects defined-or to be available.
