The syntax of else specifies that it must be followed by a block.

So

foreach (@ARGV) {
  if ($_ eq "complete") {
    $change="cmplt";
  } else {
    if ($_ eq "srces") {
      $change="src";
    } else {
      push ($printof{$change}, $_);
    }
  }
}

would be legal, if horrible. Otherwise you need to use elsif. A more scalable solution would be to use a hash instead.

Of course, if the argument is neither "complete" nor "srces" then $change is not being initialised (in the code shown), so that default push may not be doing the right thing anyway...
