| Subject: | [PATCH] set entry to an empty string instead of undef |
In Debian we are currently applying the following patch to
DPKG-Parse.
We thought you might be interested in it too.
Description: set entry to an empty string instead of undef
in order to avoid "Use of uninitialized value $entry" warnings.
Quoting perldelta for 5.26:
Code like $x = $x . "a" was incorrectly failing to yield a use of
uninitialized value warning when $x was a lexical variable with an
undefined value. That has now been fixed. [perl #127877]
Origin: vendor
