You want to instead use it in an assignment: $type = ($type eq 'unknown') ? 'human' : 'both'; -- The best way to get a good answer is to ask a good question.

This is one of those times, though, when it is useful to use an index because you need to peek ahead at the next item in the array. But you only need the index for the next item, not for the current item, so you can clean up things a bit with something like this (untested, and posted without much effort to parse or understand the objective of the code, and using printf instead of a bunch of concat'ed strings): my $index = 0; foreach my $day( @daylistsorted ) { printf ( "%s from $s to %s duration %s %s\n", $day{'TH'}, UnixDate($day{'START'}, '%Y:%m:%d %H:%M'), UnixDate($day{'END_DS'}, '%Y:%m:%d %H:%M'), int(($day{END} - $day{START})/60); (exists( ${$daylistsorted[$index+1]}{TH} ) ) ? "\tinterval to next start " .int (( ${$daylistsorted[$index+1]}{START} -$day{END} )/60) : '' ); $index++; } -- The best way to get a good answer is to ask a good question.

FWIW, I tried to reproduce your problem, but I needed to install Net::Google on my machine (a SuSe 10 box). I got this exact same error when trying to 'make test' (using my own Google key, but it is a very old key - March 2006; do keys expire if you don't use them for a long time?) -- David Filmer (http://DavidFilmer.com) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
Re: Listing files and their sizes

That's because readdir returns a plain filename. You need to either chdir() to the directory within your script, or fully qualify the filename (ie, -s /path/to/my.file) -- The best way to get a good answer is to ask a good question.
