I am running a Dual G4 with OS X 10.2 and I keep getting this when trying to run sample code from this site.
syntax error at phone.pl line 5, near "+=="
"use" not allowed in expression at phone.pl line 19, at end of line
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at phone.pl line 20.
I am a "serious" newbie, so any help would be welcome. I know that this is something to do with "use" on line 5, but why? Here is a copy of the code to help:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
package Cellular::Automata::1D;
