See also:

  perldoc -f undef

Yes, Virginia, undef is a function!

Sandy, when you get the hang of defined vs. not defined, then you can
tackle defined vs. exists  (perldoc -f exists), and the concept of
autovivification.

P.S.  I had another reply to this thread.  Inadvertently applied vim
finger habits to gmail editor.  My reply disappeared.  Don't know
whether I sent it or trashed it.  It happened so fast!  The darker
side of finger habits...
