Looks like it.  I ran

perl -e '$i = 1; $j = undef; print $i + $j, "\n"'

and got

1

then

perl -we '$i = 1; $j = undef; print $i + $j, "\n"'

and got

Use of uninitialized value in addition (+) at -e line 1.
1

and finally

perl -we '$i = 1; $j = undef; no warnings; print $i + $j, "\n"'

and got

1
