Re: Random Unitialized Value Errors

You're calling glob in scalar context (via <...>). glob acts as an iterator, returning undef once all the results have been returned. For example,

$ perl -wle'print scalar <{a,b,c}> for 1..6'
a
b
c
Use of uninitialized value in print at -e line 1.

a
b

Or something closer to what you have,

$ perl -wle'print scalar < $_ > for 1..6'
1
Use of uninitialized value in print at -e line 1.

3
Use of uninitialized value in print at -e line 1.

5
Use of uninitialized value in print at -e line 1.

What are you trying to do with <...>? I think you might simply want

$dbLogLst{$dbName} = "$ENV{'DIAG'}/$dbName/log/alert_$dbName.log";

That was it, ikegami! The typeglob was not needed and replacing the <> with "" worked. Thanks so much.	[reply]

Typeglobs (which are also known as globs) are symbol table entries. They are completely unrelated to `glob`, the operator you were using.	[reply] [d/l]

I'm so happy this is finally working and I learned a valuable lesson in the process. Thanks again!	[reply]

Except by name and spaceship operator, so they are not completely unrelated	[reply]
