If you understand the rule that it's ok to copy undef to another variable, but not use it in an operation, all of these make perfect sense.

That explains the first, but `undef` isn't being copied in the `map` and `grep` statements. The OP doesn't know that `map` and `grep` set `$_`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
