Re^3: Use of uninitialized value in hash element at

Hi,

thanks for responses... I've tried both solutions and I still get warnings :

Use of uninitialized value in hash element at ....
[download]

line with return statement... Is there any chance to get rid of those warnings ?

Thanks in advance, regards, Rob.

Sure. This warning is actually means that `$attribute` is not defined. You probably calling this method like: `$self->get_attribute` [download] somewhere	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi, thanks for response. I know what is causing this, but I'd just like to return undef if it doesn't exists and value if it exists. Why can't I do that without getting this warning ? It's not clear to me, why I can't "just ask politely" if it exists and return undef if it doesn't without warning... Thanks in advance, regards, Bulek.	[reply]

`undef` is invalid value for hash key, since this warning. If you don't want to see it you can check if `$attribute` defined or not: `sub get_attribute { my ( $self, $attribute ) = @_; return defined($attribute) ? $self->{ATTRIBUTES}{$attribute} : und +ef; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
