Subject: checking all pieces of split data for NULL

I have a file of data that I want to safety check to ensure that there 
is data for each piece of the line being split.  Is there a fast way to 
say "If any of these are '' then write to error log"?

Thanks,
Tim


"Assuming" the you wish to split on a comma 
then:

print "Bad data <$data>\n" if $data =~ /,\s*,/ || $d =~ /,\s*$/;

hope this gives you some ideas...
