in reply to Code is giving "explicit package name required" error

Global symbol "$cmd" requires explicit package name at D:\Interwoven\TeamSite\custom\tsadm\testFile3.pl line 32.

That means you have a variable "$cmd" on line 32, which you failed to declare with my $cmd or a similar statement.

You've already got a bunch of variables declared at the beginning, so you just forgot to declare this one.

***ERROR - Starting deployment. Reason from server: DEPLOY_CONFIG_FILE Details : Deployment config file not found (D:\Interwoven\OpenDeploy NG\conf\D:\Interwoven\OpenDeployNG\conf\tsadm\test_jignesh.xml)

This has nothing to do with perl. It looks like your config file name got mangled as it has two drive letters in it.

    I wonder if nowadays the error message shouldn't be updated to something "requires explicit package name or lexical "my" declaration ..."

    Lexicals replaced package vars as a standard long ago, maybe the feedback should reflect the most probable cause.

    I'm aware that changing the message might confuse some parsers, but it's such a common question here that it's worth a rethink.
