Hey guys, I've heard you're the ones to go to if in need of help with anything perl-related. Well, I have a question for you. First look at this part of my code:

 #!/usr/bin/perl
#intconv2.plx
use warnings;
use strict;
print "Please enter a normal decimal number less than 256: ", "\n";
my $dec;
$dec=<STDIN>;
my$binc1=$dec&128;

if ($binc1!=0)
{
our$bin1=1;
}
else
{
our$bin1=0;
}
print"The number in binary is: $bin1 \n";

I know this isn't a correct way of converting from decimal to binary but as I said this is only part of my code. My problem is that I get an error saying "Variable "$bin1" is not imported at C:\PerlScripts\intconv2.plx line 90. Global symbol "$bin1" requires explicit package name at C:\PerlScripts\intconv2.plx line 90. I thought this meant that the variable $bin1 I declared was not global and I don't know how to fix this, unless that's not even the problem. Please help me.
