Hello my wise fellows

I´ve been unable to solve this one, and I hope you can help me out with this message:

Variable "$prev_col" will not stay shared at C:\Site\cgi-bin\import.cgi line 543. Thu Jan 27 17:37:58 2005 import.cgi: Variable "$prev_row" will not stay shared at C:\Site\cgi-bin\import.cgi line 543.

Here´s the code: 


...
if ( $extension ne "txt" && $extension eq "xls") { 
      
   my $infile = "../$infile";
   my $outfile = "../$outfile";

   # Requesting extra modules:

   use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
   use Data::Dumper;

   # Openning the file dump

   open (DUMP, ">$outfile") || warn "Error opening file: $!\n";

   select DUMP;

   # Excel parsing

   my $parse_excel = new Spreadsheet::ParseExcel(CellHandler => \&cell
+_handler,
                                              NotSetCell  => 1);

   my $prev_index  = -1;
   my $prev_row    = 0; 
   my $prev_col    = 0; 

   my $workbook    = $parse_excel->Parse("$infile");

   # Define our own cell handler to reduce S::PE's memory use.
   # This function will be called each time a cell is encountered.
   # However, it will ignore blank cells so we have to keep track
   # of our location in the worksheet so that we can pad out blank
   # cells and rows.
   #

   sub cell_handler {

          my $workbook    = $_[0];
          my $sheet_index = $_[1];
          my $row         = $_[2];
          my $col         = $_[3];
          my $cell        = $_[4];
   
          # Only process the first worksheet
             if ($sheet_index > 0) {
                 $workbook->ParseAbort(1);
                 return;
             }

          # Reset the col counter between rows
          $prev_col = 0 if $row != $prev_row;


          # Add tabs between fields and newlines between rows. Also pa
+d
          # any missing rows or columns.
          #
          print "\n" for $prev_row +1 .. $row;
          print "\t" for $prev_col +1 .. $col;
   
          # Print the UNformatted value of the cell
          print $cell->{Val};
   
          # Keep track of where we are
          $prev_row   = $row;
          $prev_col   = $col;
       
      }
   
      close DUMP;
   
      select STDOUT;

This is a sub that parses excel files, and it´s within a script that handles the importation of a table into a mysql db. I´ve read the possible solution about this, regarding anonymous subs, but I still fail to have the Perl wisdom to implement this solution. Can you guys code it up for me?

Thanks a lot

André
