Hey

When using warnings (#!/usr/bin/perl -w), I recieve the following warnings: First time I came across this:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at E:\Web Si
+tes\Contrarian Investments\Contrarian-Investments Web folder\signup.p
+l line 98. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string 
+at E:\Web Sites\Contrarian Investments\Contrarian-Investments Web fol
+der\signup.pl line 98. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.

+alue in concatenation (.) or string at E:\Web Sites\Contrarian Invest
+ments\Contrarian-Investments Web folder\signup.pl line 98.

Line 98 goes as:
$error_html = "<font size=\"2\" face=\"verdana\" color=\"#CCCCCC\"><b>
+Please fix the following errors:</font><font size=\"1\" face=\"verdan
+a\" color=\"#003471\"><br>$error_msg_x<br>$error_msg_xx<br>$error_msg

Its a scalar mixed with a little html and a bunch of error scalars produced from a sign up form. If I take out the warnings option, it produces no warning message, and therefore my HTML looks as planned.

Once I call the function &sign_html($error_html); is when I see the warning messages.

Should I continue to use Warnings option and try to fix the warning messages? It seems as the scalar produces the warning errors, when replacing $error_html = "hey"; , the html prints fine with no warnings.

Thank you
Anthony
