I have the following script in my cgi-bin to unzip a file named "-ubl.zip" to a directory 'LeagueSite'. HERE IS THE SCRIPT ON MY SPACE: 
#!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict; 
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 

my $Verzeichnis = "/home/wwwubl/public_html/LeagueSite/"; 
my $zipfile = $Verzeichnis . "_ubl.zip"; 

if (-e $zipfile) { 
$r = system("unzip -o -q -C $zipfile -d $Verzeichnis"); 
if ($r==0) { 
print "Success!\n"; 
unlink($zipfile); 
} 
else { 
print "Error " . $r . "\n"; 
} 
}

When I call this script, I get the following error: Software error: Global symbol "$r" requires explicit package name at unzipfiles.cgi line 10. Global symbol "$r" requires explicit package name at unzipfiles.cgi line 11. Global symbol "$r" requires explicit package name at unzipfiles.cgi line 16. Execution of unzipfiles.cgi aborted due to compilation errors. What do I have configured incorrectly in this script to make it do what I want it to do. This zipped file is put up three times weekly and is 3Megs in size. It is always named _ubl.zip and it always needs to unzip to my LeagueSite directory. My email is volunteer1967@hotmail.com and I will check back on this site as well. Thanks in advance, Mark Cooley
