I can't comment on the patch, but on this piece of Perl code: all 
occurences of

	if ($somevar eq undef)

should definitively be replaced by

	if ( ! defined($somevar) )

The current comparison does NOT test if the variable is undef. It 
tests if it is undef _or_ the empty string, since both operands of 
eq are coerced to strings first. (If one really wants to test on 
undef or the empty string, one should better use $somevar eq "".)

While you're at it, you might want to discard the "&" in front of 
the direct function call. That got unnecessary with Perl 5 more 
than a decade ago.

Best,
	Joachim
