Re: Debugging "Use of uninitialized value" warnings.

Defensive code is the difference between fragility and robustness.

Agreed. I generally try to code defensively, but in the context of my original question, I am trying to make the defensive code implicit (Perl automatically tells me when and where I used an uninitialized variable) rather than explicit (adding code to check if a variable is unitialized then dying/warning if it is).

Both have the same result, but I think the former results in cleaner code.

It'd be a handy feature to have, certainly, but I'm not aware of any easy way to get it. If there were a pragma to turn on verbose warnings of that kind, I'd have a new love.

My wife might not like it, though, because I'd spend all of my days and nights just gazing lovingly at perl...

i'm not sure, but maybe you try fiddle about the

use warnings::register;

pragma. http://perldoc.perl.org/warnings.html

You mean no warnings 'uninitialized';?
