    That means that in various calculations (on the indicated lines) you are trying to use a value from a variable that you haven't previously put a value in. This is often indicative of a problem in the logic of your program.

    this happens because you haven't assigned any value to $person_count (only to $vision_total).
    try changing my ($vision_total,$person_count)=0; to my ($vision_total,$person_count)=(0,0);
