I have a script with these three lines and it works

$line =~ s/^\s*//;              # Remove leading spaces
next if ($line =~ /^#/);        # Skip line if it starts with #
next if ($line =~ /^\s*$/);     # Ship blank lines

I can replace lines 1 and 2 above with

next if($line =~ /\s+|#/);

However my attempts to replace all three lines 

next if($line =~ /\s+|#.*$/);

gives a warning

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string and produces return 
vale? of 1

for blank lines.

How can I avoid these warnings with the regexp




TIA



Owen
