Perl provides the my() and our() functions specifically for declaring variables:.
However, Perl allows any variable to be referenced, even if it is not declared or initialized. If an uninitialized value is requested, Perl supplies a default undef value. Depending on the context, the undef value may be interpreted as 0, false, or an empty string.
Because Perl programs are typically not explicitly compiled before they are run, they can suffer from typographical typographic errors in variable names. A variable whose name is typed incorrectly will appear as an undeclared variable to the Perl interpreter and consequently will therefore contain the undef value instead of the value of the intended variable.
Due to Because of the hazard of mistyped variables, all variables should be declared before use.
