Greetings fellow monks. I have a perl/CGI script which is behaving rather badly. From the apache logs, I get the following when the script is called:
Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at (eval 20) line 15 ( +#1) (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables. Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at (eval 20) line 15. Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at (eval 20) line 16 ( +#1) Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at (eval 20) line 16. Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at (eval 20) line 22 ( +#1) Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at (eval 20) line 22. Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at (eval 20) line 22. Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at (eval 20) line 22.
I can't for the life of me work out what is wrong. The begining of the script is appended below. Any comments welcome. Regards, Stacy
