in reply to Global symbol requires explicit package name

Your issues have been fixed, but I would like to offer a bit of advice for future issues.
  1. Go buy a copy of Learning Perl. You can find it at nearly every bookseller. If you can't, Amazon is your friend.
  2. Read it, cover to cover. And, I really do mean every single word.
  3. Do every exercise.
  4. When you have questions, bring them here.
  5. When you're done, go buy a copy of Programming Perl. That book, as with me, will be your Bible. (I actually do view it as my programming Bible.)

Follow those steps and you will be helped immensely.

    Thanks very much for your help and advice which I will definately take into account. Script is working OK now just waitning on Web host to install an extra module that is required called close.pm. Once this is installed I hope that the script will finally work. Thanks to everyone for all your time and help.
