Hi Monks,

I'm a Perl newbie, trying to implement it in one of my projects and I have "Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//)" error while executing the following code: 

#!/tool/pandora64/bin/perl5.8.8 -w

use strict;
use warnings;


my @verilogfiles = glob '*.verilog';
my ($vf, $of, $i, $j);

print "Define the path for sdf_annotate.v: ";

my $path = <STDIN>;

chomp($path);

#For verilog files
foreach my $b (@verilogfiles)
{
        open $vf, '>>', $b or die "Could not open file '@verilogfiles'
+ $!";

       if($_ =~ /module entity\;/)
        {       
            print $vf "\`include \"$path\"\n";
        }

}
close ($vf);

Output is:

Define the path for sdf_annotate.v: rwfg

I tried the solution suggested in this website. But none worked. Any help?
