Ok, thank you, but now I'm having another problem with this: open(TEXT,"text.txt") or die ("error: text.txt failed\n"); while (<TEXT>) { my $text = <TEXT>; } close(TEXT) or die("error: close text.txt failed\n");
print <<"EndOfHTML"; $text EndOfHTML It tells me $text requires explicit package name but I do give it 'my' so why is it still giving me that error? And once that error is fixed will the document be put into $text and then print properly even after I closed text.txt? Thank you again. I don't know what I would do without this list. :) On 1 Jul 2002 15:36:19 -0000, "Felix Geerinckx" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > on Mon, 01 Jul 2002 15:22:00 GMT, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kyle Babich) wrote: > > > open(text,"text.txt") or die ("error: text.txt failed\n"); > > [...] > > bash-2.05$ perl -Tcw index.pl > > Unquoted string "text" may clash with future reserved word at > > index.pl line 17. > > [..] > > How do I fix it? > > From perldoc perldiag: > > Unquoted string ""%s"" may clash with future reserved word > (W reserved) You used a bareword that might someday be > claimed as a reserved word.
