Hello everyone, Fairly new to the list here (and perl), so if this is an inappropriate post, please forgive me. I've got the Learning Perl book plus a few others...but I'm still scratching my head over this one.
Just a beginning test page where the end-user submits a name and gets a page back with that name in it. The page works,however, the warning I keep getting is: "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string..." I also noticed this same type of warning when I attempt to take the same thing (user input) and try to compare it to another variable, using this example--> $my other variable=~/$name/ operator. I can't get anything to match. Here is a snippet of code that will generate the error messsage above: #!c:\Perl\Perl5.00402\bin\perl.exe -w #Set Perl Parameters #use strict; #The CGI.pm module will take input from the form and process it for you. use CGI qw(:standard); my $name=param("name"); print "<h2>You entered: $name <p>\n"; Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide a newbie. -- Tony Bandy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OHIONET -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
