Fixed. The replies to my request indicated that I was using a hash { } instead of an
array [ ] like I needed.
What a dumb mistake!
Thanks for all your help!

I am having a problem with the following script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
I've included the fixes below.
But basically when you refer to $date{index}
you are really talking about the hashkey 'index' of hash '%date'.
So at the beginning you should declare your hashes, you declared them as
strings.
e.g.
my %date; # this is a hash
not
my $date; # this is a string
#%
Try defining your hashes like you did with the variables.
actually.. it looks like you defined scalar variables and not hashes
it should be
my %date; #not my $date
my %time; # not my $time
Hope this helps!
