Re: zero vs undef

You are using || which tests for truth. 0 is false. Either use defined, or upgrade to 5.8.2 and install the defined-or patch, in which case you can replace your ||'s with //'s to get the results you intend.

When will the defined-or patch be part of the main source? I don't want to install it on the machines I have at work because I want to keep the patches I have to re-apply to a minimum (right now, it's none and I like it that way). ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.

When will the defined-or patch be part of the main source? It is part of the main source. But only in the development track, so if you want to run 'patch' only 0 times, you have to wait till 5.10. Abigail	[reply]
