Perhaps I am mistaken, but I believe that *{$foo}{SCALAR} is always defined. Try for example:

    perl -wle 'print "Yep" if defined *{"NOSUCH"}{SCALAR}'

You're right, but that's why I'm dereferencing it to find out if there's a live SCALAR at the end. Your example doesn't actually match what's coded; try: `perl -wle 'print "Yep" if defined ${*{"NOSUCH"}{SCALAR}}'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Oh, my mistake; thanks for the correction. It still seems to me that it would be simpler to write `defined ${$fqvar}` instead of `defined ${*{$fqvar}{SCALAR}}` however.	[reply]
