Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion and it seems to work but
I get this output:
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ./test.pl line 16.
You must include the file name.
Unless you supply at least one argument to the script, $ARGV[0] won't
exist. There's a difference in perl between 'not defined' and an
empty string (or zero for numerical values). Try:
if ( @ARGV < 1 ) {
usage();
exit 1;
}
or
unless ( defined $ARGV[0] ) {
usage();
exit 1;
}
Thank you very much for the explanation. Now I understand why I was
getting the error message. I didn't quite understand how to use
"usage();" but replaced it with a print statement. It works perfectly!
Thanks,
Drew
