This is a bug report for perl from Richard.Foley@m.dasa.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.

To: perlbug@perl.com
Subject: unitialised value in concatenation?
Reply-To: Richard.Foley@m.dasa.de

This is a bug report for perl from Richard.Foley@m.dasa.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.

Trying to print out some debugging info with the following statement:
	print "targets($tgt) -> targets(@targets) -> '$dest' (@dest)";

Produces the following (IMHO strange) output:
	Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at ..//Perlbug/Email.pm line 815

The actual string looks like this:
	targets() -> targets(unix win32 module generic macos) -> '' (perlbug@perl.org perl-win32-porters@perl.org modulebug@perl.org perlbug@perl.org macperlbug@perl.org)"; 

OK, there's blank values there, but where's the concatenation or is it one of these healthy (clear) implicit things?
Uninitialised warnings under 'strict' I can follow, but this appears a bit strange?

Can anyone enlighten me on this?
