Running this script in perl gives me an error. The script: @arrFilesToFtp = ('/tmp/xpp_proc/fullpub/170/afm/1234/2005_11_16_pid-28678/2005_11_16_170_afm_1234_fullpub_pid-28678.xml','/tmp/xpp_proc/fullpub/170/afm/1234/2005_11_16_pid-28678/2005_11_16_170_afm_1234_fullpub_pid-28678_xpppdfcontrol.xml'); print ">>> docbase_host -> $hshEmbFtp{'docbase_host'}\n"; print ">>> process_dir -> $hshProcess{'process_dir'}\n"; print ">>> files ->" . join("\n", @arrFilesToFtp) .
