Re: How to correct code

You threw in 'use strict' and tried it, now you're complaining. Sounds like you don't understand what 'use strict' is meant to do or why it complains about what it complains.

I would strongly urge you to read a book on Perl, preferably one published by O'Reilly, that will give you a firm grounding in good programming practices, especially as they apply to Perl. Then, you will have a firmer grasp on what you would need to do to make your script run under 'use strict'.

After that, try 'use warnings' and work through those issues, as well. Then, if you're brave, add taint-checking. :-)

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
