Thanks for the tip on the wording. This is what I thought I was using: "In computer science, the syntax of a computer language is the set of rules that defines the combinations of symbols that are considered to be a correctly structured document or fragment in that language."
Wikipedia Syntax
I will come up to speed eventually!

I uncommented out "use diagnostics". I don't mean to be dense, but, I still can't figure out what I am doing wrong? What is the correct structure?

$ ./LeftToRight.pl Use of uninitialized value $_ in substitution (s///) at ./LeftToRight. +pl line 12 (#1) (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were alread +y defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mi +stake. To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables. To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell y +ou the name of the variable (if any) that was undefined. In some cas +es it cannot do this, so it also tells you what operation you used th +e undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your progr +am anid the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily ap +pear literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your program. Use of uninitialized value $RedirectUrl in concatenation (.) or string + at ./LeftToRight.pl line 13 (#1) for at the end: $RedirectUrl = <> Use of uninitialized value $RedirectUrl in substitution (s///) at ./LeftToRight.pl line 15 (#1) Use of uninitialized value $RedirectUrl in concatenation (.) or string + at ./LeftToRight.pl line 16 (#1) run on line: $RedirectUrl = <> Use of uninitialized value $_ in substitution (s///) at ./LeftToRight. +pl line 18 (#1) Use of uninitialized value $RedirectUrl in concatenation (.) or string + at ./LeftToRight.pl line 19 (#1) for at the start: $RedirectUrl = <>
