Greetings to all,
I am having a problem when accessing the data from a PM file. Unless I actually put a value into the scalar there is NO data.
I have used require before with no problems . I dont understand what I have done that could break it.

Anyway this is what the print statement says. $smonth is ,$sday is 2, $syear is 2000
I was hoping that $smonth value would be "Jun" not "". Thanks for any help

Tim 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use CGI qw(:standard);
print header();

require schedule;


my $s_month;
my $s_day = 2 ;
my $s_year = 2000;

print "\$smonth is $s_month ,\$sday is $s_day, \$syear is $s_year\n";


################### PM FILE #########################

#schedule

$s_month = 'Jun'; 
$s_day = '21'; 
$s_year ='2004'; 

$week_1 = 'TEAM 1'; 
$week_2 = 'TEAM 2'; 
$week_3 = 'TEAM 3'; 
$week_4 = 'TEAM 4';
