I keep getting this error when trying to run the script below. Use of uninitialized value in numeric lt (<). Is there something wrong with this statement "if($numArgs < 3)"?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); use CGI qw/:standard/; use File::Glob ':glob'; use File::Basename; use ImageMagick; my $q = new CGI; print $q->header(); if($numArgs < 3) { print "Usage\n"; print "convertimages.pl widthxheight outputdir \"filepattern\" [qu +ality percent]\n"; exit(1); } # Get the width and height my $dimensions = $ARGV[0]; # get the output dir my $outputdir = $ARGV[1]; # get the file mask my $filepattern = $ARGV[2]; # Get the quality my $quality = $ARGV[3] || 0; print "Requested Size: $dimensions\n"; print "Output Directory: $outputdir\n"; print "Filepattern: $filepattern\n"; my @filelist = bsd_glob($filepattern); my $numFiles = @filelist; print "Processing $numFiles files\n"; my $count = 0; my $command = ""; foreach my $filename ( @filelist ) { #print "Processing $filename\n"; my $fileBaseName = basename($filename); my $outputFile = "$outputdir/$fileBaseName"; $command = "convert -size $dimensions " . (($quality) ? "-quality +$quality " : "") . "$filename -resize $dimensions $outputFile"; `$command`; $count++; print "$count "; } print "\n";
