Qualify the variable's in your perl script, since the script uses strict(use strict). For Eg: declare $greeting as "my $greeting"
or comment "use strict" and that should work.

Dear All
I am trying to run the script below, but I always get the following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]$ secondperl
Global symbol "$greeting" requires explicit package name at /home/paulus/scripts/secondperl line 6.
Global symbol "$greeting" requires explicit package name at /home/paulus/scripts/secondperl line 7.
Execution of /home/paulus/scripts/secondperl aborted due to compilation errors.
The script is:
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict;
$greeting = "World"; print "It matches\n" if "Hello World" =~ /$greeting/;
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
