Use the three argument open

   open( my $ssh_fh, "|-", 'ssh user@host...' )
      or die "Could not ssh [$!]";

   open( my $data_fh, ">", $file2 )
      or die "Could not open [$file2] [$!]";

Don't use 'use' in the middle of code

Put use IO::Socket::INET at the top with other use statements.

Don't use 'use' in the middle of code

Note that in Perl 6 you can use a module in the middle of code and it is only valid within that block.

... in Perl 6 you can use a module in the middle of code and it is only valid within that block

Does that mean that Perl6 unloads the module when the block is exited ? ... in which case if there's a second block later on that wants to use the same module then that second block has to load that module all over again ?

Note that in Perl5 you can also require a module in a block of code, such that the module doesn't get loaded until that block is executed ... but once loaded that module stays loaded even after the block is exited.

Hi Neil, Thanks for the response. I have modified the code accordingly. Still I am getting error. I am very new to perl This is the error ********* ERROR: Could not create socket: Invalid argument Use of uninitialized value $servername in printf at ./new.pl line 42.
