Hi, I had one more question -

I have to use the split command on the same file to split each input record on its delimiters and and assign it to an array. I am trying to use eval here also (as specified above), but, it is throwing an error. One of the error msg is
"Bareword "per" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 2) line 1." 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Fcntl;
use strict;

print "starting script...";

my $inp_row = "per|l|mo|nks|rock|s";
my $de = '|';
my @cl_data_row;

my $count = (eval "\$inp_row =~ tr/$de//");
die $@ if $@;
print "count is $count\n";

chop($inp_row);
#@cl_data_row=split(/\|/,$inp_row);
@cl_data_row=(eval"\split(/\$de/,$inp_row)");

for (my $x=0;$x<$count;$x++)
{
    print "row element is $cl_data_row[$x]\n";
}
