Where is the "concat" function supposed to come from? The error you reference means that, on line 31 of the script, you call a function called "concat". Perl assumes that unqualified function names are in the main namespace, which is why it looks for &main::concat : & refers to a function, main to the namespace, and :: separates the identifier from the namespace.
I know of no standard Perl concat function or library. Can you post the area of the script around line 31? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu On Tue, 28 Jan 2003, Keith Steensma wrote: > I've installed a very minimum Debian 'testing' system. > > I trying to run a perl script that uses a 'concat' function.
