D'oh. Thinko causing typoing. Make the obvious fix and the comment remains true.

I don't see an "obvious" fix that will make

if (defined(my $foo = exists $hash{$key})) { 
    # ...
}
[download]

work like

if (exists $hash{$key}) { 
    my $foo = $hash{$key};
    # ...
}
[download]

I guess that's either because there isn't one or because I'm not enlightened. Would you enlighten me?

Before you answer: Please notice that exists $hash{$key}; is not equivalent to defined $hash{$key};.
