Here is my code:



sub test2{

    return "HTML";

}


sub test {

    return join '', test2("1", "$ENV{'HTTP_HOSTS'} ");

}

print test();

And here is the result:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c sh
$ perl -w test.PL
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at test.PL l
+ine 11.

I am using perl, v5.8.3 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread. The second argument passed to test2 is undef, but why would that cause this error? Notice that test2 still returns "HTML". And how best to correct this error?
