FYI, this error message generally means that you're interpolating an
undefined variable into a string, such as, for example:

    my $var;
    $string = "This is $var";

Perl 5.6.1-to-be produces a slightly better error message:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at - line 2.
