Using /home/isp/nick/Tk8/blib
Useless use of concatenation in void context at Mail/Status.pm line 10.

Line in question is :

my $dbname = "$ENV{'HOME'}/mail/status.db";

There is no explicit concatenation, and no void context that I can see.
(The computed value is correct by the way.)

/home/road35/local/sun4os5/perl5.00558/bin/perl5.00558 -wc tkmail
Using /home/isp/nick/Tk8/blib
Useless use of concatenation in void context at Mail/Status.pm line 10.

Line in question is :

my $dbname = "$ENV{'HOME'}/mail/status.db";

There is no explicit concatenation

Of course there is​: the right-hand-side is a shortcut for

  $ENV{'HOME'} . "/mail/status.db";

I cannot reproduce it here with

  perl -wle "my $dbname = \"$ENV{'HOME'}/mail/status.db\"; print $dbname"

Please try to design a testcase.
