G'day gaurav,

Your problem line is this:

my (@values1,@val1,@values2,@val2,$val) = 0;

[download]

While that declares all those variables, it only assigns 0 to @values1; the other four variables are all undefined. $var remains undefined and the other three arrays are still empty. [Update on that last clause thanks to AnomalousMonk.]

If you're assigning values to the arrays elsewhere in your code (you only show assignments to @values1 and @val1 here), then you can do this: 

my (@values1, @val1, @values2, @val2);
my $val = 0;

[download]

That's a guess because you haven't shown enough of your code!

Another separate problem is your choice of variable names. The names convey no meaningful information whatsoever (all variables can hold values) and, because they are so similar, they are highly error prone (for you, the developer) and highly problematic for any maintainer (whether you or someone else). I strongly recommend you change them to something meaningful.
