Fellow monks, I am having problems with a script I wrote. For you're ease, I'll break the query down to the following table of contents (hopefully the anchors work, sorry if they don't):
  1. Task at hand
  2. Problems encountered
  3. Code

Task at hand


1. Have a set of servers to connect to and:
2. Have a list of different ports (per server)
3. Attempt to connect to each port listed under each server
4. Report attempted connect as either the port being up, or down
----

Problems encountered


The results I got back are:
Starting Ping System

Service at arbornet.org on port:
 ARRAY(0x804b424) is down
Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at ./new_ping.pl li
+ne 47.

When I am not using warnings or strict, line 47 does not error, and when I am using a single port (80 possibly), it does not error. Mind you, I modify it so that it does not try to do the foreach loop on the ports in the latter possibility...
----

Code


#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use IO::Socket;
use strict;
use warnings;

# default port
my $pt = "8080";

my $inactive;
my $call;
my $server_ip;

my @remote_server;
my @remote_port;
$remote_server[0] = "arbornet.org";
$remote_port[0][0] = "21";
$remote_port[0][1] = "23";
$remote_port[0][2] = "80";
#$remote_server[1] = "slashdot.org";
#$remote_port[1][0] = "80";
#$remote_server[2] = "apple.com";
#$remote_port[2][0] = "80";
#$remote_server[3] = "yahoo.com";
#$remote_port[3][0] = "80";
my $i = 0;

print "Starting Ping System\n";

foreach $server_ip (@remote_server){
  print "\nService at $server_ip on port:\n";

   foreach $pt ($remote_port[$i]){
     $inactive = 0;
     $call = IO::Socket::INET-> new (
              PeerAddr => "$server_ip",
              PeerPort => "$pt",
              Proto => 'tcp',
              Timeout => '5',
             ) or $inactive = 1;

    if (!($inactive)) {
      print " $pt is up\n";
    } else {
      print " $pt is down\n";
    }
    close $call;
  }
}
