[rules-users] Coding syntax differences

Let me preface my question by saying I'm new to both Java and drools so
if it is silly or the answer is obvious, you know why.  Given the two
rules below, what, if any, is the difference between the two?

rule "Low Premium"
   when
        p : Policy( sex == "m" && premium < 50.00 )
   then
        p.setStatus( 32 );
end


rule "Low Premium"
   when
        p: Policy( sex == "m", premium < 50.00 )
   then
        p.setStatus( 32 );
end


The first rule is from a .drl I coded and the second was generated from
.dsl mapping.  My specific question is about the "when" portion.  Is
there a difference between the two?  Does the "," represent "and"?  If
so, how would "or" be written or represented in the .dsl/.drl?
