I very often encounter this error when processing a file: # Use of uninitialized value, <WEBLOG> chunk 1891. when the -w switch is on. I thought it is caused by pathological lines in the file that didn't meet expectations, and caused $line to be uninitialized, but this speculation does not seems correct. Recently, I also encountered this in Linux, where the file to be process is not a weblog and only 20 lines or so. Printing the above error many times significantly slows down the script, but I don't really want just to shut it up by turning off -w. Any hints? PS I asked this question before, and thought I understand why,... .
