The warning means that @binary[$x] = 1; should be written as $binary[$x] = 1;

The reverse order comes from buffering. die writes to a different buffer (STDERR) than regular prints (which write to STDOUT). In fact, STDERR is unbuffered by default, and STDOUT is line-buffered by default. That is, everything you print to STDERR is immediately shown on screen, while everything to STDOUT will not show up on the screen until a line break is printed.

To end a program "successfully," you should not use die. Instead, you should print whatever you wanted to with print and then exit(0);
