I get an error message with this attempt saying it doesnt like the 'use warnings;' on line 2. Please advise if I need to add a 'warnings' module? Here is the error message:
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\Perl\bin\find9.pl line 2.

Script:

        use strict;
        use warnings;

        use File::Find;

        my @dirs = qw( . );

        find ( { wanted => \&change, no_chdir => 1}, @dirs );

        sub change
        {
            my $file = $File::Find::name;
            
            if ( -f $file && $file =~ /\.html$/ )
            {
                open(IN, $file) or warn "CANT OPEN FILE!\n";

                my $buffer;

                {
                    local $/ = undef;
                    
                    $buffer = (<IN>);
                }
                
                close IN;
                
                my $changecount = ($buffer =~ s/FLORIDA/NEWWORD/gi);

                if ($changecount)
                {
                    open(OPF,">$file") or warn "NOT OPENING FILE FOR M
+OD, $!\n+";
                    print OPF "$buffer";
                    close OPF;
                }
            }
        }

I tried running this without the 'use warnings;' part and it only changed words in the main directory so I assume I need this part to work so it changes the sub directories as well?

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
