in reply to scalar values assignment

If you want to check whether that particular scalar is defined or not.You can simply use it in the if statement as follows.
if($scalar) { statements } else { statements }
If you want to check if it is undef,then you can use unless or simple else for the above if statement. For inverse of if,you can also use unless.

    if($scalar) ...

    Strictly speaking, that would test whether $scalar is true, not whether it's defined. 0 or "", for example, evaluate to false, but are considered "defined".  Test defined instead.
