Re^7: Undefined value as a symbol reference

The perl -v that I posted in the original post was directly from the server I am using, I didn't make that mistake. That is why I was so confused as to why I was having trouble. I had the "camel book" right in front of me that said 5.6+ but it still wasn't working. All I can assume is when it was updated to 5.8 it didn't update correctly.

And how are you running the program? What is its shebang line?	[reply]

Ah you are right there. I found that there are two different versions of perl on the server (usr/local/bin/perl, /usr/bin/perl) and I happened to be running the one that was 5.008 from my shebang line. Every time I did a perl -v it pulled from the updated one. Very good thinking sir, that may have fixed many future problems for me.	[reply]
