In the absence of further info, I'd have to suspect a bad build then.

Looking at this further, I am a bit confused as to what the if line does anyway. When I saw it, I thought it was a smart way to test all the values in @user_geg for definedness, but I just ran the following script: 

#! perl -w
use strict;
my @test = ( 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);

print 'OK'.$/ if defined( @test[0 .. $#test] );

$test[5] = undef;

print 'OK'.$/ if defined( @test[0 .. $#test] );

@test[0 .. $#test] = (undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, undef,
+ undef, undef, 1);

print 'OK'.$/ if defined( @test[0 .. $#test] );

$test[$#test] = undef;

print 'OK'.$/ if defined( @test[0 .. $#test] );

__END__
# Output
C:\test>test.pl
OK
OK
OK

C:\test>

But as you can see, the only value being tested is the last value. Which makes sense as an array slice is just a list, and a list in a scalar context is just its last value. Which means that the test is equivalent to

if ( $user_geg[$#user_geg] ) {...}

That means that your change to $#user_geg-1 is testing the last but one value, which strongly suggests that the last value is undefined?

My only suggestion is to preceed the if with print defined $user_geg[27]; and see what you get? But if you are seeing output from print $user_geg[27];, it should be defined!

Sorry I can't suggest better.

Well It's better than the Abottoire, but Yorkshire!
