TIMTOWTDI, it also depends on exactly which of the values you're trying to print is undef - since I can't tell from your post I'm going to guess it's $A->{$key}->{$key2}, but if not, you will need to adjust the tests in the code examples below accordingly.

Solution 1: Disable those warnings altogether. Note that warnings can be useful in debugging, so this may not be the best unless you know what you're doing.

# ...
foreach my $key2 (@aminos) {
    no warnings 'uninitialized';
    printf OUT ("$forprint ", $A->{$key}->{$key2});
}
# ...

Solution 2: Don't print at all if the value is not defined.

foreach my $key2 (@aminos) {
    printf OUT ("$forprint ", $A->{$key}->{$key2})
        if defined $A->{$key}->{$key2};
}

Solution 3: Use the defined-or operator // to replace the undef value with the empty string. (Only available in Perl 5.10 and above)

foreach my $key2 (@aminos) {
    printf OUT ("$forprint ", $A->{$key}->{$key2} // '');
}

Solution 4: Skip the loop iteration entirely if the value is undefined. (similar idea to Solution 2)

foreach my $key2 (@aminos) {
    next unless defined $A->{$key}->{$key2};
    printf OUT ("$forprint ", $A->{$key}->{$key2});
}
