The following snippet is intended to iterate through my Cisco LAN switches to do stuff with each one. My naming convention is switchNNNa, where NNN is a 3digit number greater than 100 and the last character is always the letter a.
But the "a" following the device number is tripping me up. Perl thinks I mean "$ia" instead of "$i"a with this error: Global symbol "$ia" requires explicit package name at line 5
Suggestions from Wiser Monks? Perl 5.00503 on Debian 2.3r3, in case it matters.
cheers,

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $i = 100;
for ($i..$i+200) {
my $host = "switch$ia";
print "$host\n";
$i++;
}

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).
