So what you want is to print out the subscript separator $;, but not print it out if it is completely blank (i.e. just whitespace, empty string), or if it is undefined?
If I understand you right you want:
if ( defined $operator and $operator =~ /\S/ ) {
#print operator here
#it is defined and contains something
#that is not whitespace
}
else {
#do something else as $operator is either
#not defined or it does not contain a
#non whitespace character
}
If I misinterpretted your intention let us know.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
