What is ((A | B), C) trying to do? Perhaps you want:
(($VisaCard || $BankCard) && $CreditCard)
>}elsif ($CreditCard = "" && $Charge < 0 ) { # Is "" ok for a null entry?
You need to use eq '', not = ''. If you use =, you will SET $CreditCard
to the empty string. You need to COMPARE it with the empty string.
