( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
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];
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

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.
