in reply to Perl 4 errors
I dunno if perldoc is available in Perl4 (I wish I had my pink camel handy), but that or "man perl" would be good places to start. Any documentation on your system will be, I suspect, more likely to conform to what you actually have.
As for your immediate problem, you can forget out strict, but IIRC correctly, you can still use local. It's not great, but it's a way to at least restrict scope. Also, for options, you can use the -s switch.
Interprets -xxx on the command line as a switch and sets the corresponding $xxx variable in the script.Cheers,
