You could write what I know about Perl on the back of a postage stamp,
but it seems to me that Perl is trying to be clever (as many compilers
do too) and is telling you that you have assigned a value to reply in
one place, and never used it, which (to Perl at least) seems a bit
pointless and more likely to be a typo on your part.
Of-course what you're trying to do (I assume) is just tell Perl to wait
for user input before continuing and you don't care about the result. if
so, there's presumably a way to do that without transferring it to a
variable you never use, or to declare the variable so that it doesn't
think you have a typo, or to turn off the error. That would require more
Perl skills than I have!
Try putting
reply = '';
immediately before your existing reply= line, unless someone more
knowledgable about Perl can tell you a better option.
[Later: whilst typing this, Martin's reply came through. Removing the -w
will therefore "fix" this but I suspect you might otherwise benefit from
the warnings it's giving you, so I think turning that off at this stage
should be a last resort.]
