The column is a boolean flag with a not null constraint. I assume if fetchrow returns no rows, lock is undefined, but then I don't reference it again.

If there is a row, then lock must be 0 or 1.

    Are you sure you have the right line?
    undef $lock; if ($lock) ...
    does not cause a warning for me (perl 5.8.0). It's not doing a numerical == comparison.

    Have you tried using the debugger?
