in reply to Re: using undef on a array
in thread using undef on a array

The last one is easy to understand, but if i try to asing a undef value to $#a it is not modified:

perl -le 'use strict;my @a=("a");$#a=undef;print "Defined" if defined @a;print @a'
Defined
a

But whats the meaning of defined, what exactly do the undef @a,what exatly perl do? If i write $#a=-1 i'm clearing all and have no values, the both, 1 and 2 have no content, thats why it prints that they have 0 elements, buf one its undefined, but still avaliable, sorry if i dont understand what it means with defined, you say it still exists ... in both cases exists and are emptys.
