Re^4: use strict with format and tailing a file

Good morning, (for me at least).
Here is my format problem:
format = STATOUTATOUT
@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
$STDESC, $STVAL
.

Undefined format "STDOUT" called at ./getlogs.pl line 88, line 2.
But if I use
format = (default STDOUT), everything works out fine.
On the second subject, yes Im working on a older perl release and Ill have to convice the Sys admins on upgrading perl on the prodution machines, meanwhile Ill just hold on to the tail command.
Thanks in advance.

It's supposed to be `format FORMATNAME=`You've got the = in the wrong place.	[reply] [d/l]
