Re: simple script question scope/structure for Perl noob

For a start put:

use strict;
use warnings;
[download]

at the start of your script.

By the time you have removed all the warnings and errors your problem will have changed!

Some sample data would help. You may like to use <DATA> rather than <FILE> and put a __DATA__ section at the end of your script.

Update: Add sample data comment

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.

Well, at least `use strict;` I would think the warnings part would be covered by the `#!/usr/bin/perl -w` line. -Bryan	[reply] [d/l] [select]

In this case, I'd put `use warnings` anyway. Note that OP's shabang does not start from the very first character in the script, because there are some lines of comment before (and an empty one, too). Thus, the `-w` switch is likely to be ignored in this case. Flavio perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf Don't fool yourself.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
