This is a weird situation... I have three Solaris servers, all configured with the same Apache version, same conf file, same mod_perl, etc. These servers are, respectively, dev, test, and prod. Running the same script on all three servers, I only get error messagess on the dev server; the error messages look like this: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at <script> Line ### The "error" is occurring because of code like the following: 
print qq^
    <input type="text" class="classDef" name="elementName" size="25" v
+alue="$HASH{ key }"> 
^;

Where the "$HASH{ key }" has not been defined (since the instance is being used to do an insert into the database, not an update). The question has two parts: 1) Why are these errors being generated to the Apache error log on the dev server but not the other two servers? 2) How do I make it stop? <sob> Thanks for any and all assistance!
