I am working on a registration page and there for want it to show the user errors it has found with their input. I have two subroutines in my code, the first one prints out the form, also takes an array with error descriptions that is passed by the other subroutine. The other subroutine takes the user input and verifies it, any errors that it finds it pushes into an array called @errors and passes that back to the first subroutine. The problem is it doesn't work right when I run it from the command line this is what I get:

I have attached my code for the script, if someone could look at it and give some ideas as to how to make this work or a better way then please do -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."
