From @tobez

The following script​:

  #! /usr/bin/perl -w
  my $k;
  if (1) {
  #
  #
  #
  my $z = $k+1;
  }

produces ``Use of uninitialized value at bug.pl line 3.'' warning. It
does so in 5.005_03 and 5.005_57.

I tracked the problem down to the optimization performed in op.c's
scope() function, but I am unable to fix it properly (disabling the
optimization does not count, though it fixes the problem). Probably
this output will be helpful for someone​:

[ optimization enabled]
$ perl -MO=Terse bug.pl
bug.pl syntax OK

  SVOP (0x80591e0) pp_const IV (0x8050ef4) 1
  OP (0x8059180) pp_padsv [2]

The last pp_nextstate corresponds to the line 3.

[ optimization disabled]
$ perl -T bug.pl

Correct line number is reported. ^^^^^^

$ perl -T -MO=Terse bug.pl
bug.pl syntax OK
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach/B/Terse.pm line 81.

  OP (0x8059520) pp_padsv [2]

pp_scope has been replaced (or is this other way around?) with pp_leave
and pp_enter, and pp_nextstate corresponding to the correct line is
there.

Is there a better way to fix this rather than disabling the optimization
completely?
