perl -w $your_script.pl Name "main::ConfFile" used only once: possible typo at foo.pl line 16. Name "main::AllDevi" used only once: possible typo at foo.pl line 8. Name "main::STRM_ALLDevices" used only once: possible typo at foo.pl l +ine 11. print() on unopened filehandle STRM_ALLDevices at foo.pl line 11. . print() on unopened filehandle STRM_ALLDevices at foo.pl line 11. ...

The reason is that you open STRM_AllDevices but write to STRM_ALLDevices, which has a different capitalization and is thus considered to be something else.

To avoid such problems in future, use the pragmas strict and warnings and use lexical variables for your file handles.

Example:

use warnings; use strict; my $AllDevices='All_Devices.txt'; my $_AllConfDir = '.'; # Listing the devices opendir (my $dir ,$_AllConfDir) or die "Error in opening dir $_AllConf +Dir\n"; open my $a, ">>", $AllDevices or die "couldn't open file '$AllDevices for appending: $!"; while ( my $file = readdir($dir)) { print $a "$file\n"; print "$file\n"; } closedir $dir or warn $!; close $a or warn $!;

Update: added tidied example

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.
