It is not wrong per-se to separate the two checks into two separate
parts of the conditional, but because we check for definedness only
because comparison of it with $1 makes sense only when it is
defined, writing it either like this, 

		if (defined $hash and $hash eq $1) {
			$auth_ok = 1;
		}

or even like this,

		$auth_ok = (defined $hash and $hash eq $1);

may be easier to read, no?
