I believe that you hit it on the head. The most recent instance that I have seen it is in a file called MONLIB.pm, which someone else wrote (although I have done the same thing). So you answered my question. Thanks for your help.

In the case of arrays, the one time I have seen it is when using if(defined(@array)) which is the same as just saying if(@array) and taking the scalar as true or false. This is deprecated because the second method is preferable anyways, but it still works everywhere that warnings or strict is not on.
