use warnings; you can use use diagnostics; which gives you a more verbose explanation of errors! The documentation for both you can get by (from the cmdline prompt): perldoc warnings; perldoc diagnostics; (after "perldoc" you can put anything that you use after a use ... line. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ perl hello.pl > String found where operator expected at hello.pl line > 15, near "print "" > (Might be a runaway multi-line "" string starting on > line 11) > (Missing semicolon on previous line?) > Backslash found where operator expected at hello.pl > line 15, near "print "\" > (Do you need to predeclare print?) > Backslash found where operator expected at hello.pl > line 15, near "address\" > String found where operator expected at hello.pl line > 15, at end of line > (Missing semicolon on previous line?) > syntax error at hello.pl line 15, near "print "" > Global symbol "$address" requires explicit package This error is a result of the use strict; line in your program. But *don't* eliminate it from the script, it forces you to declare all variables that you use. Most of the time, a variable is declared with a "my " preceeding the variable at the point it is introduced (mentioned the first time). > name at hello.pl line 11. > Global symbol "$name" requires explicit package name > at hello.pl line 11. > Can't find string terminator '"' anywhere before EOF > at hello.pl line 15. Sometimes the error *is* not at the line mentioned in the error message; it tells you at which line perl has *detected* the error, this may be some or even many lines below :-) Go trough the error messages from top to bottom, and correct the errors from top to bottom (not the other way round - generally). > here my code.I not sure what i did wroung here. > > #!/usr/bin/perl > > use strict; > use warnings; > > my $street='Wright'; > print "$street\n"; > $street='Washington'; > print "$street\n"; > print "One major street in madison is Washington\n"; or, since you created a variable for the street: print "One major street in madison is '$street'\n"; (I'm not from there, but isn't there a Madison street in Washington? ;-) > print "enter your address"/n"; > my $address > > $name =<>; The above lines are a bit messy, arne't they? You ask for the address and save it in a variable which most people expect to contain a name... > print "\nPerl has received your address\n"; Give a feedback: print "\nPerl has received your address:\n$address"; :-) Dani -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
