These helper natives are boolean statements that assist with the determination of the existence of or the defining of a variable.
exists
The exists native applies specifically to hashes and hash references.
print "This user has an age.\n" if exists $user->{'age'}; |
defined
The defined native determines if a scalar value is defined:
print "We received a response from the server.\n" if defined $response; |
undef
The undef native determines if a scalar value is un-defined:
print "We received a response from the server.\n" unless undef $response; |
