Why you do not use?

    I agree, the logic can be usefully simplified here. But your suggested change is not correct. With the negations unwound, the equivalent logic is:

    if (defined $name and defined $sysoid)
{
    $lookup{$name}{name}   = $name;
    $lookup{$name}{sysoid} = $sysoid;
}

    (But I would normally use the higher-precedence && in this situation in preference to the lower-precedence and, which I tend to reserve for control flow.)

    Hope that helps,

      Yes. Right. My mistake. Shame on me.
