What I expect from the above code is that the test should never fail. Reasoning: if $x == 'yes', then $x cannot be equal to 'yeah'; therefore, the second test succeeds. Since it's an OR, that means the whole expression succeeds. Similarly, if $x == 'yeah', it cannot be equal to 'yes', and the whole thing succeeds again. If $x == 'poodle', both tests succeed and the whole thing succeeds as well. I think you want '&&' where you have '||'. :) This'll make it so that 'do some stuff' only gets executed when $x is equal to neither 'yes' nor 'yeah'.
