Thanks for the patch but I don't think that would be the correct
behaviour. Undefined warnings are there to let one know that something
is wrong. In this case, both those methods expect $prefix to be '' if it
is the empty prefix, not undef. That's intentional as an undef $prefix
would normally mean that there's a problem somewhere.
I'm leaving this bug open in case you have an argument to convince me of
the contrary, but I'm not for silencing warnings that can provide
valuable information.
