unless with AND

Hi,

Could someone explain this condition:

Scenario: #1
unless ( (defined $result) && ($test !~ /TEST/) )
 { my $result = "OK";
   print "$result\n";
 }

I thought it was:
UNLESS (IF NOT) $result is defined and UNLESS (IF NOT) $test does contain TEST

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

I find it strange to learn that the below condition is not the same:

Scenario: #2
unless (defined $result)
{
 unless ($test !~ /TEST/)
  { my $result = "OK";
    print "$result\n";
  }
}

This would work as I thought (UNLESS $result is defined and UNLESS $test does contain TEST), but not the scenario #1.
