Hello all I am having problems executing my script Basically the script scans for all uids on the system then goes through the entire filesystem to find all files owned by each individual user. The problem is that for some reason my script reports a syntax error and I am not sure why here is my code 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#This line will check the passwd file for any uid greater 1000
system("awk -F:'{if ($3 >1000) print $1}' /etc/passwd > /home/chancock
+/users");
open(FILE, 'users');
print <FILE>;#!/usr/bin/perl -w
close FILE;

The error that is returned is "Use of uninitialized value at ./testing line 3. ANY ideas.
