Hi there,
the following code is giving me an error:
$Threscount=0; open(THRESHOLDS, "$Thresholds") or die("Could not open Thresholds file +."); foreach (<THRESHOLDS>) { chomp($_); if ($_ =~/^(\w+);(\d+);$/ && $_ !~/^\#/) { print "DEBUG: use constant $1 => $2;\n"; use constant $1 => $2; log_msg("Setting: use constant $1 => $2;"); if ($Threslabels[$Threscount] ne $1) { log_msg("There is something wrong with the thresholds labels, check + thresholds file!"); exit(2); } $Threscount++; } } if ($Threscount != 8) { print "$Threscount\n"; log_msg("Wrong number of thresholds they should be 8 there are $Thres +count"); exit(2); } close(THRESHOLDS);

Constant name '' is invalid at ./getlogs.pl line 75
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./getlogs.pl line 75.
Thanks monks.

Further Details
Im trying to read the thresholds from a file since im going to compile de the script with pp it would be easier to have a wana be conf file.
Trying to substitute this dynamically:
#Define Warning values use constant SIMULWAR => 30; use constant MEMINUSEWAR => 200000000; use constant SIMULSNAGWWAR => 40; use constant CONDBWAR => 200; #Define Critical Values use constant SIMULCRIT => 50; use constant MEMINUSECRIT => 240000000; use constant SIMULSNAGWCRIT => 60; use constant CONDBCRIT => 240;
