	You don't program much, do you? :)

		if( ... && ... && ... ) {
			statement;
		} else {
			statement;
		}

	Or if you must indent each test

		if( ... &&
		        ... &&
			    ... ) {
				statement;
		}

	Either way the code is cleaner & faster.
	But wait, you want to now put statements after each?  In that case
	you are back to {} in either language, as you should be since you
	then have a combined statement again.

	It's still hard for me to understand even though good perl code is
	normaly less then 1/10 the size of simlar code in nearly any other
	language, that people still complain about having to "waste" time
	typing a couple }{'s or )('s here and there... ;-/
