Without seeing the complete script, I can only venture to guess. You stated
you were porting a script from WinNT to a Unix environment. Be sure you
have properly included a "shebang" line at the beginning of your script
like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
where /usr/bin/perl is the path to your installed perl interpreter. Within
the WinNT environment, the line is not required and perl will process the
script without it. In Unix without the designation, the shell is attempting
to process the file and the $ designates a command line, not a scalar variable.
Hope I'm not totally off base and this helps,
Will
