... your suggested approach is highly inefficient and not useful at all in my situation.

Of course, I have no idea what your situation is, but my post was motivated by the conviction that some measure of data validation is essential in any data processing application, however time-consuming it may be.

... I'm not looking for any type of methodology to circumvent or prevent the error from happening ... [is it] possible (without writing any specific checking code) to know the name of the variable that produces the error ...

But if you're not going to prevent or handle the warning in any way, what do you care about the name of the variable? Just suppress the warning.

But again, you know your business best...

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.
