I have another question on this topic. I'm also getting a similar warning in another part of the code: "Use of uninitialized value $\ in concatenation (.) or string at C:\scripts\DailyComp2.8.pl line 208 (#1)". This warning comes from the following line of code:

my $match_live = "\/LIVE>.*$\/";

I am defining a pattern match for Net::Telnet to use in various places in the code. The back slash in $\ is there to escape the forward slash which is the end of the pattern match, but it looks like PERL is interpreting it as variable. Any suggestions? Thanks
