in line 64, you have: > my %counties = ( #-- line 64 in line 543, you have: > if ( ! {$counties}) { #-- line 543
in line 64, you declare a %counties hash variable. in line 543, you are trying to access the $counties scalar variable which do not exist. remember in Perl that %counties and $counties are completely different thing. one is hash and the other is a scalar. the funny character makes them totally different stuff. in your case, you probably don't need to: if( ! {$counties}) { #-- what is that do anyway??? just remove that line then your script should work(assume that this is the only error you have in your script). david Gregg O'Donnell wrote: > > Hey - I'm receciving syntax and global package errors in lines 540-550 of > this script, which is running on WinNT.
