Re^5: Template::Toolkit: defined on aggregate item vs. defined on variable (STRICT)

:D *awesome* now I'm getting it

Autovivification? This is the code

$stash->set('g', $stash->get(['group', 0, 1, 0]));
[download]

So testing it outside of tpage , it returns empty string instead of undef

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw/ dd /;
use Template::Stash;
use Template::Stash::XS;
for my $stash ( Template::Stash::XS->new, Template::Stash->new ){
    $stash->set('group', [ 'one' ]);
    $stash->set('g', $stash->get(['group', 0, 1, 0]));
    dd( $stash->get('g' ) );
    $stash->set('g', $stash->get(['group', 0, 1, 0, 'defined', 0]));
    dd( $stash->get('g' ) );
    $stash->set('g', $stash->get(['g', 0, 'defined', 0]));
    dd( $stash->get('g' ) );
    dd( $stash->set('undy', undef ) );
    dd( $stash->get('undy' ) );
    dd( $stash );
}
__END__

None of the various https://metacpan.org/source/ABW/Template-Toolkit-2.26/t/stash.t seem to test defined

But docs show https://metacpan.org/pod/Template::Stash#undefined-ident-args which links https://metacpan.org/pod/Template::Manual::Config#STRICT

Which says its a regrettable design decision, so I guess not a bug

tpage/ttree don't have / take a -template_strict option
