-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Howdy,
Thanks to Matt for pointing me in the right direction re: mod_perl. Here's my latest: working through the perl tutorial docs at http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Perl/Perl101/Perl101_2/page3.html I've created the code that follows; typed in from the devshed example, sans comments, and with -w and use strict, (neither of which are part of the listing in the tutorial.) Simply using the -w switch the script runs fine, but putting in use strict kills it. The errors I get say: Global symbol "$foo" requires explicit package name at ./devshedperl.pl line ## where $foo is each of the variables used in operations and ## is the corresponding line number of the operation. Finally the thing quits, saying, "Execution of ./devshedperl.pl aborted due to compilation errors." I am at a loss; what would I need to do to make this run under use strict? And where might I have found that answer within perldoc? I tried > perldoc -q strict and got "No documentation for perl FAQ keyword 'strict' found." All pointers appreciated. (code follows) #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; print "Number, please..."; $alpha = <STDIN>; print "Another, please..."; $beta = <STDIN>; $sum= $alpha + $beta; $diff = $alpha - $beta; $product = $alpha * $beta; $quotient = $alpha / $beta; $remainder = $alpha % $beta; $exponent = $alpha ** $beta; #Show it print "Sum: $sum\nDiference: $diff\nProduct: $product\n"; print "Quotient: $quotient\nRemainder: $remainder\nExponent: $exponent\n"; - -- beau -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8zzZnbMtNI7KvfxQRAlN+AKC7J6D7tuDtwcRquwH/k15hymLmKwCgvVog TKm51rx4jb27yF2Z4Ohwp7g= =cEUb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
