$ sync-accounts
Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at
./sync-accounts line 67.
Apparently this isn't allowed any more. perl5220delta(1) says:
: "defined(@array)" and "defined(%hash)" are now fatal errors
: These have been deprecated since v5.6.1 and have raised deprecation
: warnings since v5.16.
Obvious trivial patch to fix it:
