Yes. You've committed the same flaw as: 
@array = undef;

[download]
which is that it makes @array have one element of undef, not zero elements (empty).

Do not use undef for anything other than the scalar undefined value. Your program could use: 

my %href = ();

[download]
But I'd probably flag that on code review as "potential signs of cluelessness - look very carefully at the remaining code", since that's also the default, and people who override the default with the default tend to make other mistakes. {grin}
