Single quotes don't interpolate variables. You need double quotes.
open(DLOG, '<', "D:\\PROJ\\N12${X_info}_X$X_info\\dataInfo_X${Y_info}_ +Y${Z_info}_decode.csv") or die "we have a problem: $!"; # ^

Note that I needed to add the comma after the mode, it's not optional.

Also, a backslash is special in double quotes, so it needs to be backslashed to keep its literal meaning.

Moreover, a variable name can't be followed by an underscore (or any other character valid in a variable name) in double quotes, e.g. "$x_" means the variable named $x_, not $x followed by an underscore; you might need to use the curly braces syntax "${x}_".

Even better, use sprintf:

open(DLOG, '<', sprintf 'D:\PROJ\N12%s_X%s\dataInfo_X%s_Y%s_decode.csv +', $X_info, $X_info, $Y_info, $Z_info) or die "we have a problem: $!" +; # ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

The usual rant about using lexical filehandles will come shortly.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
