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

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.
