in thread Check on if statement

In this case it would be more efficient because the AM who posted wants to check for either no value or a single question mark, if he/she wanted to check to see if the string was empty or a question mark anywhere in $foo then you would probably need something like 
if(!$foo || $foo =~ /\?/){
 # either its blank or there is a ? somewhere in it
}

    actually, that would read: # it is blank, '0' or there is a '?' somewhere in it
