Hi, I've got a Perl script that is runned by a cron job. I get an email every 6 hours telling me: 
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /home/rui/public_
+html/cgi-bin/e/e_update.pl line 49.
Use of uninitialized value in length at /home/rui/public_html/cgi-bin/
+e/e_update.pl line 53.

Here's line 36 to 57: 
my ($a,$b,$c,$d,$e,$f,$g,$h,$i,$j) = split (/\,/,$line);
$a = $a.$c.$i.$b;
if ($e < 0){
$e = abs($e)."S";
} else {
$e = abs($e)."N";
}
if ($f < 0){
$f = abs($f)."W";
} else {
$f = abs($f)."E";
}
$d =~ s/\;/\,/gi;
$j =~ s/\;/\,/gi; #line 49

my ($k,$l) = split (/\;/,$h);

if(length($l) > 0){ #line 53
print FILE $d."|".$g."|".$i."|".$k."|".$e.", ".$f."\n";
} else {
print FILE $d."|".$g."|".$j."|".$k."|".$e.", ".$f."\n";
}

Any idea how to stop this? Kind regards, Kepler
