Re^2: Assigning Null to a variable

in thread Assigning Null to a variable

I don't know enough about SQL to know how its NULL compares to Perl's undef, but it strikes me that "I know what the value is, and the value is: that it is known that it has no value at all" is actually a pretty good (Update: well, on second thought, perhaps just a bit wordy) explanation of our friend undef!

"I know what the value is, and the value is: that it is known that it has no value at all" is actually a pretty good explanation of our friend `undef`! ... and that's why DBI maps SQL's `NULL` to `undef` and vice versa.
