In my perl code i am getting some other output instead of Other

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

if ($ARGV[0] ne "") {
    $destdir = $ARGV[0];
} else {
    if (exists $ENV{'LOGS_EV'}) {
      $destdir = $ENV{'LOGS_EV'};
    } else {
      colored_printout(RED,"\nERROR: Environment variable LOGS_EV not 
+defined!");
    }
}

Here the above code prints the statement in the last else loop like "ERROR: Environment variable LOGS_EV not defined!". But i want the code to store the some value in the $destdir for this what changes can i do.
