Hi Monks!
I looking into returning a message based on a passed key value from a sub. I am getting a number 10 from the check sub instead of the message I am looking for. How can I do this thing right?
Here is sample code I am trying:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dump 'pp';
use Text::CSV;

main();


sub main {

 my $data = shift || return;
 my $file = "file.txt";
 
 eval {
     
   open my $fh, ">", $file or die "Unable to create or open file: $!";

     $csv->print($fh, $_) for @{ $data };

   close $fh; 
 };
 
  if ($@) {
  
    print "ERROR!";
    
  }else {

    # A message code will be here, using 1114 as sample;
    my $message = check('1114');
    print $message;

    # I want to print " Exit " <<<<<<<<<<<

  };
  

} 

sub check {

 my $ck = shift;

 my %message= (
 
    'y345'   => " Close ",
    '1223dx' => " Open ",
    '88888'  => " Gone ",
    'acb2'   => " Available ", 
    '1114'   => " Exit ",
    
  );

}

Thanks for the help!
