Question

I noticed a number of "uninitialized value in substitution" warnings in my httpd error log. The problem is on line 279 in the edit script from the latest beta. It ends up that $TWiki::script never gets initialized. My fix is to put line 279 into an if ( defined($TWiki::script) ) {} block. This elimitated the warning and should also work if $TWiki::script ever does get initialized.

And yes, this is just a warning and I can "safely" ignore it but I don't like these sort of messages cluttering up my error logs.

I've removed this code from TWiki.pm in CVS - it's not called from any other files.
