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 '');

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).
