undef from get array ref

[Christopher G Tantalo]

In the code that follows, I want to return a 1 if there is an error, in 
this case, my error would be if the select does not return a 
sri_person_id.  I have tried this numerous ways, but have yet ot have it 
run with without a warning message :
"Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ./elead.pl line 222. "... 
which is noted below.
I have checked the docs and some old postings, which is how I got the 
use of the length of the string to decide, but with warnings being used, 
I still get the message.  ( and I do not want to turn warnings off)
TIA,
Chris

sub validate_sales_rep
{
       my $sr = shift @_;
       # find sales_rep
       my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT sri_person_id from 
lts.sales_rep_informa
tion where sri_sales_rep = ?");
       $sth->bind_param(1,$sr);
       $sth->execute();
       my $sr_id = $sth->fetchrow_array();

       # return the code for being valid or not
       length($sr_id) ? return 0 : return 1; # this is new line 222
       #return 1 if($sr_id eq "");    # these next two lines were my 
original checkings.
       #return 0;
}
