I hate to say I don't believe you, but "I don't believe you". :)
CNTFILE is clearly used three times here and I'm sure this code on its
own would compile without warnings. I would guess that you've got something
like a 'package' statement in between those three lines, but whatever it is
Perl isn't seeing the three statements within the same package. Maybe it isn't
seeing all three at all. Do you have block comments like
=comment
=cut
in your code that you've overlooked?
I suggest you post your actual code with all the intervening lines. And
tell us whihc is line 151!
Cheers,
Rob
