A better way to check for particular value is defined or not, use defined function in perl.

Syntax: defined EXPR

defined function will return true if EXPR has a value other than the undefined value "undef".
Defined function will return true even if the value of particular scalar is null string. To check whether value of scalar is defined and not null, use following code.

my $defined_string="Defined_value"; print "Value of defined_string is defined and its value:$defined_strin +g" if(defined $defined_string && $defined_string ne '');

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
