Hi Monks!
This code is generating a error that I believe that it is occurring on the regular expression from the "sub parse_location", can someone take a look at it and let me know where this error "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string" is coming from?
Here is the actual code.

#!/perl/bin/perl -w
use strict;

# convert a string which looks like "34:45:12N,15:34:10W" into a pair 
# of degrees.  Also accepts "34.233N,90.134E" etc. 

my ($lat1,$long1) = parse_location('34:45:12N');
print "$lat1, $long1\n";

sub parse_location {
    my($str) = @_;
    print "$str\n";

    my($lat,$long);

    if ($str =~ /^([0-9:.\260'"d -]*)([NS])[, ]+([0-9:.\260'"d -]*)([E
+W])$/i) { 
        return undef if (!defined($lat = &parse_degrees($1))); 
        $lat *= (($2 eq "N" || $2 eq "n") ? 1.0 : -1.0); 
        return undef if (!defined($long = &parse_degrees($3))); 
        $long *= (($4 eq "E" || $4 eq "e") ? 1.0 : -1.0); 
        return(&degrees_to_radians($lat), &degrees_to_radians($long));
+ 
    } else { 
        return undef; 
    } 
}

Thanks for the big Help!
