Errors from perl script uploaded to server

FeraliX has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've been running a server off of my computer with PERL 5.8.8, and just recently tried uploading it to a website running PERL 5.8.3. When I try and run the site, I get a 505. I used their debugging program and it gave me the following, I've tried looking it up the problems, but can't find anything.

main::generate() called too early to check prototype at Index.pl line 
+52. Name "main::Recr" used only once: possible typo at Index.pl line 
+69. Name "main::Before" used only once: possible typo at Index.pl lin

I wonder, is it possible that a portion of the script exists in a seperate file, and you failed to upload that file? It almost sounds like there's a file that you "do" into your script, which contains several subroutine definitions. I'm surprised that, if this hypothetical file doesn't exist on the new server, you're not getting an error message relating to the do command, but in that regard it's also possible that the do is held within an eval to trap errors. You're also not using `strict`, are you? Dave	[reply] [d/l]
