I am working a script that is a solution to a problem in Intermediate Perl. Here is the script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; sub check_items_for_all { my $all_ref = @_; my @who = keys %$all_ref; my @required = qw(preserver sunscreen water_bottle jacket); my @missing = ( ); for my $crew (@who){ for my $item(@required){ unless (grep $item eq $_, %$all_ref{$crew}) { print "$crew is missing $item.\n"; #push @missing, $item; } } } #if (@missing) { # print "Adding @missing to @$items for $who.\n"; # push @$items, @missing; #} } my @gilligan = qw(red_shirt hat lucky_socks water_bottle); my @skipper = qw(blue_shirt hat jacket preserver sunscreen); my @professor = qw(sunscreen water_bottle slide_rule batteries radio); my %all = ( Gilligan => [EMAIL PROTECTED], Skipper => [EMAIL PROTECTED], Professor => [EMAIL PROTECTED], ); check_items_for_all(\%all); When I run the script, I get the following error message: syntax error at required_items.pl line 13, near "$all_ref{" syntax error at required_items.pl line 18, near "}" I'm not sure what is causing this. Eventually, I want the script to access each crew member's belongings, figure out which of the items in the @required array are missing, and place those items in the member's array.
