[sf-perl] Odd behavior for dot operator?

[Andrew Sigmund]

Quinn,

I believe that it was not equivalent in my context:

-          I wanted to include _something_ (the value of $y itself or the text  "undef") in my print statement.

-          I wanted to eliminate the "Use of uninitialized value" warning under perl -w.

I'm still a relative perl newbie, so any correction is welcome.

Thanks,
        Andy

Note also that this code snippet is equivalent to $y:

   (defined $y)? $y :'undef'

If $y is not defined, then it's undef, by (if you'll pardon me) definition.

Isn't is 'undef'?  not undef?
