Hi monks!
I don't know if it's possible what I try to achieve, but definitely this is the place to ask :) It happens to me frequently that I got the error: Use of uninitialized value in ... when I'm printing several values together using printf. Obviously, if I debug the application I can determine the uninitialized variable, but that's usually a lengthy and boring process that I'd like to avoid if possible. Is there any way to know which variable is the culprit without debugging? In other words, is it possible somehow for perl to specify in the output error something like: Use of uninitialized value in variable $myvar in ... Thanks in advance!NOTICE Just to be clear, I know how to avoid these type of errors either by a) initializing the variables with a default value and/or b) checking whether or not they are defined. I don't want to add any kind of extra checking code to avoid the errors, I just want to know, when the error happens, which variable is not initialized correctly.
