This is a bug report for perl from hermit@komodo.bayview.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The warning message that appears when you use an uninitialized variable
in string interpolation (double quotes) is wrong. It says "Use of
uninitialized value in concatenation (.)" when in fact there is no
concatenation (.) operator on that line. Instead, there is double-quoted
string interpolation. The warning message is misleading, as novice
users might go looking for a concatenation operator (a . between two
scalar values) when in fact the problem is with something different.
[Please do not change anything below this line]
