"In other words, if the item in a Perl symbol table has value undef for all practical purposes is it that same as deleted item in FAT and should be treated by interpreter developers in the same way as "not found" item. "

Might I ask where you got your information that Perl variables are relative to a file system designed in the 80's?

In other words, before you make statements that relate the two together, you should at least test on another 3-4 programming languages and see how things are dealt with there first.

At least that's what I'd do before making blanket complaints.

Have you filed a bug report for this 'issue' with the p5p team?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
