Re: code works in Windows (Strawberry Perl), fails in Unix

The code you provided compiles fine on Linux for me. The error messages you show do not match the code you posted; they refer to lines that do not exist in the code. Please see How do I post a question effectively? and post the actual script and/or the actual error messages.

I'm forced to work with someone else within the company who is running this in the Unix environment. This disconnect makes resolving issues frustrating. I updated my post to reflect the code exactly as I gave it to him (the only difference was a handful of blank lines I had originally omitted). The errors posted are from his message back to me.

The error messages match up a little better with the code now, and without having tested it I've got a suspicion: It may be a Perl version before v5.10 which does not support the `//` defined-or operator. If that's the case it would have to be replaced by equivalent logic using defined. See also perlver. BTW, please mark your updates in the original node a little more clearly, see here for why.
