while (my @usr = $stu->fetchrow_array)
{
foreach ( @usr ) {print STROUT $_ . "\t"}
}

I am getting a weird error msg complaining about the print statement having 'unintialized value $_ in concatenation <.> or string'

$stu->fetchrow_array returns query results, and the code tries to print the items in each row with tabs seperating them.

I am quite new to Perl, and I inherit the code from someone before me, but it really baffles me how this line would give me an error.
 
check if it's an uninitialised value, and if it isn't, print it ...

Something like this perhaps:

Perl:
foreach ( @usr ) {print STROUT $_ . "\t" if defined $_;}
