This brings me to the problem I've been having. I have a "my" variable that I want to update within an if..elsif, but it does not get updated.
my $a = "TEST';
if ($x == 1) {
$a = "one";
} elsif ($x == 2) {
$a = "TWO";
} else {
$a = "EMPTY";
}
However, $a is not getting updated. I'm obviously overlooking something in either declaring the variable to be global, or some way to reference the variable directly. I just don't quite know where to look. Anyone???

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).
