Subject: Array question...


OK here's the problem:

I have an array that may or may not have been assigned to, if it has been 
assigned to I need to do one thing, otherwise I need to do something else.

I've tried many variations, but I'm having trouble determining if it has
been 
assigned to.

if(undef @myArray) {
    # Do thing1
} elsif(!undef @myArray) {
    # Do thing2
}

and

if ($myArray[0] ne "") {
    # thing1
} else {
    # thing2
}

as well as a few other variations. Printing out the array BEFORE the if
block 
shows nothing in the array, yet it does thing1.

After trying many different methods, I am totally lost, please help me!

TIA
