Hello, In my early (very early) stages of learning perl I've run into a conflict. I have access to two linux machines that I practice on (I do not have admin rights). The following is a simple script from "Learning Perl." Problem is, it runs on one linux box, but not the other. Here is the code: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; print "Enter password files: \n"; chomp(my @file = <STDIN>); my @reverselist = reverse @file; print "@reverselist\n"; On the box that it doesn't run on, I get this error: syntax error at /home/mnorris/perlscripts/lp7.3 line 8, at EOF Execution of /home/mnorris/perlscripts/lp7.3 aborted due to compilation errors. ~ _____________________________________________________________ Surf on!
