Your declarations are lexical in scope and vanish at the end of the enclosing block. Since your my declarations take place in two different blocks and you then try to access them in a third they're no longer valid. You need to declare them in the largest enclosing scope (in this case you'd want to do so at the top of the while loop outside all branches of your conditional).

On an unrelated note, using undef rather than a junk variable is better practice if you don't need one of the return values from split (or wrap the split in parens and subscript it to pull out what you want, e.g. ( $foo, $bar ) = ( split( /:/ ) )[1,4]).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
