Is Perl optimized to skip remaining logic operands if the answer is already decided?

Question

For instance, I need to match some text if $do eq \'b\'. If I run this code:

if (($do eq \'b\') && (/text/))
{
do stuff
}

Answer 1

No, right part of condition is not evaluated when left part is false,

if ($do eq 'b' && /text/)
{
do stuff
}
