We are pleased that the children are taking note of their lessons. ;) I assumed that you were not using strictures because you didn't mention the warning and "uninitialized value" warnings are not subtle. I see now that you meant to imply that the mechanism of the bug was subtle, rather than that the effects were subtle or the location of the faulty code was difficult to determine. My appologies for the misunderstanding. Note that we only know what you tell us. We didn't know from your node what the problem was - you didn't even present the output generated, nor the output you expected, let alone that you knew that the issue was an uninitialized value.
