Perl keeps telling me "Use of uninitialized value in modulus (%)" in this line where I have an if statement (and no modulus). If I change that line to remove the part after the &, it works fine... both of the variables are defined if I try to print them somewhere near there.
for($x = $prevmax;$x<=$max;$x++) { $n = sqrt($x); $i = 0; while ($x%$p[$i] !=0) { $i++; if (($n < $p[$i]) & ($x > $p[-1])) # error here { print (1 & ($x > $p[-1])); push(@p,$x."\n"); last; } } }
Could anyone help me? Thanks

Considered by xdg: "retitle 'uninitialized value in modulus'"
Unconsidered by davido: Final vote of 11/26/0 indicated significant opposition to retitling.
