Help! I'm writing a code to display an array of data. For some reason this condition statement is causing the full script to fail. $founddex is a variable that is set to yes if an entry in the array is found that is to be amended. This routine should only be triggered when the results from a form submission has no duplicate record already in the array (@workfile), assume that $founddex is equal to "no" in this case. am_or_pm is simply a holding variable that shows what part of the day the form has been submitted in (am or pm). Can anyone tell me why this is hanging up? I'm new to the monks and any help would be appreciated :0) 
if ($founddex = "no")
  {
    if ($am_or_pm eq "am")
      {
        $morntime  = $formdata{'$timedata'};
        $mornread  = $formdata{'$readdata'};
        $morneaten = $formdata{'$eaten'};
        $noontime  = "N/A";
        $noonread  = "N/A";
        $nooneaten = "N/A";
      }
    else
      {
        $noontime  = $formdata{'$timedata'};
        $noonread  = $formdata{'$readdata'};
        $nooneaten = $formdata{'eaten'};
        $morntime  = "N/A";
        $mornread  = "N/A";
        $morneaten = "N/A";
      }
      $appendedrecord=$arraydate."-".$morntime."-".$moreread."-".$morn
+eaten."-".$noontime."-".$noonread."-".$nooneaten;
    $newdex = $#workfile;
    ++$newdex;
    $workfile[$newdex] = $appendedrecord;
}
