okay. so i have a script, "create_account.pl" which spits out this error:

Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1/Crypt/PBKDF2/Hash/HMACSHA1.pm line 19.

i've done some "debugging" and have found the error happens on this line of "create_account.pl": $account{password} = $pb->generate($account{passwordagain});

I even tried to change it to:

my $temp = $pb->generate($account{password}); no dice!

yet, my "setstats.pl" script doesn't issue the error and the code is pretty much exactly the same stuff:

my $newdbpw = $pb->generate($newpw);

so...do i need to post ALL of the code, or is this enough to get us started?

some system stats? ubuntu 17.04 and perl5.24.1

Sincerely, Jarett
