Description
Got this report via email:
Using Net::HTTP::Methods I very often receive errors:
Use of uninitialized value $line in concatenation (.) or string at /opt/perl5.28.2/lib/site_perl/5.28.2/Net/HTTP/Methods.pm line 534.
Use of uninitialized value $line in concatenation (.) or string at /opt/perl5.28.2/lib/site_perl/5.28.2/Net/HTTP/Methods.pm line 534.
die "Missing newline after chunk data: '$line'"
if !defined($line) || $line ne "";
When $line is undefined it tried to print it in die statement.

Research direction
Start in Net/HTTP/Methods.pm around line 534, where the missing-newline error is reported and the undefined $line value is interpolated. Reproduce or inspect that path and verify the missing-newline case no longer emits an uninitialized-value warning while still reporting the error.
