[Chicago-talk] undef values in arrays.

This statement:
 print $Count . " " . join(", ", @a) . "\n";

Produces this errors message:
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at ./TransferTables.pl line 4154.

The array is a result of this statement:
my @a = $sth_s->fetchrow_array

I presume I have a NULL value in my database and it come back as a
undef in the array.

I rarely allow NULL values in a database so I don't know that from experience.

Anyway, Is there a graceful way to replace the udef values in @a with
the string "<NULL>"?

That way I will see them and I will not get the warning message.

Thanks,
