Purpose
=======

exists($!path!varname)

This function checks if the specified variable exists, in other
words: contains a value. A variable that once was set and later
on unset does also not exist.

The function accepts a single argument, which needs to be a variable.
It returns 0 if the variable does not exist and 1 otherwise. The
function can be combined with any other expression to form more
complec expressions.

.. versionadded:: 8.2010.10
