I suppose that would be another way to write it
It is not. But in short, if you want to check if a variable is in false condition, use if (! $var) {..., or  unless ($var) {..., or the example I gave above.
A false condition includes 0, "" (empty string), and undefined value.

On the other hand, defined is checking a null condition (not initialized, undefed). In other words, a variable given "" or 0 also consider as defined, because value already inside. And a proper usage on defined should following a variable, like if ( defined $x ). In your code, ... !defined is checking with $_ which is what you read from <FH>, which I believe is not what you wanted.

"$z[7]" $z is Zipcode...
That's why I quoted my @z = 90005; in your code snip, as this is not even a proper array, thus there will be no $z[7] existed.

Finally, please read other's responds, you can't read Excel by simply open.... , not even CSV. Use a proper module for the job.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
