Hi,
I got this scrip that is suppsed to use the use the Getopt::Std; and
GD::Graph::bars; to input generate an array from a file (age).
With this array, the GD::Graph::bars is going to create a subroutine
printHistogram() which generates a png file based on a supplied array.
The signature of the method could be like this:
printHistogram(\...@histy,"$filename",$histmin,$histmax,"Title");
I manage to generate the array from the input file, but it seems like there is
something wrong with my subroutine at the end, I have been using the examples
at cpan.org as an templat for this subroutine.
Following is the error msg, as well as the complete script.
Tnx!
The ERROR msg:
