Problem: Use of null value:
Problem2: Use of uninitialized value:
Background: Earlier I have joined $number, $email, $address1 and $address2 to $dbm{$name}. I'm trying to now pull back all entries in the database by $name. Ie, I want it to show results like:
Aaron Anderson
111-1111
200 Rocky Lane
Bedrock

Is there a syntax error with my script? I think the problem might be my 'my'ing of them cause maybe doing that removes their contents? I'm not sure but that's the best guess I have.

Thanks for your help everyone.

elsif ($option eq 'r') {
     my ($number, $email, $address1, $address2) = split "\0", $dbm{$na
+me};
  foreach (sort keys(%dbm)) {
    print "$dbm{$_}\n";
