Hi, I have just written a script that generates a random password. I am using perl 5.0.6, and heres the code:

#################################################################
# Random Password Generator
#################################################################

use strict;

# The Alpha/Number Dict Files
$DICT_A = "/usr/perl/dict_a.txt";
$DICT_N = "/usr/perl/dict_n.txt";
# Open The Dict Files
open( ALPHAN, "<$DICT_A" ) || die "Cannot Open Aplhanumeric Dict File:
+ $!";
open( NUMBER, "<$DICT_N" ) || die "Cannot Open Numeric Dict File: $!";
# Create Associative Arrays
my @alpha = <ALPHAN>;
my @number = <NUMBER>;
# Chomp!
chomp @alpha;
chomp @number;
# Close The Dict Files
close ALPHAN;
close NUMBER;

# Set The Random Password
my $ranpwd = $alpha[rand @alpha],$number[rand @number],$number[rand @n
+umber],$alpha[rand @alpha],$alpha[rand @alpha],$alpha[rand @alpha];
[download]

And it tells me this:

global symbol "$DICT_A" requires explicit package name @ 8
global symbol "$DICT_N" requires explicit package name @ 9
global symbol "$DICT_A" requires explicit package name @ 11
global symbol "$DICT_N" requires explicit package name @ 12
Execution of /ranpwd.pl aborted. due to compilation errors

Anyone Know Why? Cheers, Elfyn
