Chas/Prabu, The script is moving along nicely now:) Incredible how I missed the obvious, although I have been staring at it for so long...
Thanks! jlc -----Original Message----- From: Prabu Ayyappan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2007 11:16 PM To: Joseph L. Casale; beginners@perl.org Subject: RE: syntax error of some sort? @list = (Exchange,Filter,DNS,Domain); sub stop_it { $vm = $_[0]; print "$vm\n"; } stop_it(@list) A semi-colon is missing in the list assignment. if you want to get the first value of the list then you have to use $_[0] Second Value means $_[1] and so on... To get all the values from the list.. sub stop_it { (@vm) = @_; print "@vm\n"; } get it from @_ and assign it to an array "@vm" .Then you can navigate through the array with foreach or some for loops.... @_ will have the arguments passed to the sub-routine. Hope this help you. Thanks, Prabu "Joseph L. Casale" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Heh, Clearly I need to sleep!
