Why? * The "while (<F>)" loop wouldn't have given you an undef in $t in the first place; * You would have got "Use of uninitialized value" warning at these two s/// statements if $t were undef; and * Even if $t were undef, these two s/// statements would have made $t a defined, empty string. > + printf("(to-cmd) Adding To: %s from: '%s'\n", > + $t, $to_cmd) unless $quiet; > + } > + close F > + or die "(to-cmd) failed to close pipe to '$to_cmd'"; > + } In any case, this whole codeblock obviously is a copy-and-paste from corresponding $cc_cmd codepath, and I wonder if you can refactor the original into a common helper function first and then use it to make the addition of this feature a smaller patch. if (defined $cc_cmd) { push @cc, recipients_cmd($cc_cmd, 'cc'); } if (defined $to_cmd) { push @to, recipients_cmd($to_cmd, 'to'); } If you did so, the first patch that refactors to create a helper function can address issues Ãvar raised in the review to clean things up, no? I notice that you use parse_address_line() while $cc_cmd codepath doesn't. I haven't studied other codepaths deeply, but my gut feeling is that the reason why the $cc_cmd codepath does not call parse_address_line() before pushing the result to @cc is _not_ because strings on @cc shouldn't be sanitized (the codepath to parse "Cc: " calls parse_address_line and pushes the result to @cc), but because the code is simply sloppy. So I suspect that it would be Ok for recipients_cmd to call parse_address_line unconditionally.
