I have a hash of lists (called inventory) that contain an itemcode (the key), description, price, and quantity.

When I try to find out if the quantity is greater than zero:

     foreach my $itemcode (keys %inventory) {
                my $quantity = $inventory{$itemcode}[2];
                if ( $quantity > 0 )

I always get this error message:
Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at (the if statement line).

Right now, I have all of the use strict; statements commented out.

Any suggestions on how to correct this error?

Thanks.
