Actually, in that case you need to check if the value is defined. The element still exists, and checking for existens doesn't buy you anything.	[reply]

Running the previous version of code: `perl arraydelete.pl Use of uninitialized value within @x in print at arraydelete.pl line 6 +. 1245` [download] Modified as follows using "exists": `#! perl use warnings; use strict; my @x = (1,2,3,4,5); delete $x[2]; for (0..4) { print $x[$_] if exists ($x[$_]) }` [download] Run it to produce: `perl arraydelete.pl 1245` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Update: I didn't read your post carefully enough You get the result you want, but the semantic is not what you indicate by using `exists` so I'd rather use `defined` in that case. `#! perl use warnings; use strict; my @x = (1,2,3,4,5); delete $x[2]; for (0..4) { print $x[$_] }` [download] Run it to produce: `Use of uninitialized value in print at checkifexists.pl line 6. 1245` [download] So, the element exists, but it's value is undefined.
