Hi all,

Can someone please advise me as to why i keep getting a 'use of uninitialized value in concatentaion (.)0r string pointing at the line i have highlighted in red.

######these are my variables.

#Quote for execution:
chomp($date = qx#/bin/date #);
chomp($month = qx#/bin/date +%B#);
chomp($year = qx#/bin/date +%EY#);
chomp($day = qx#/bin/date +%d#);
chomp($hour = qx#/bin/date +%H#);
chomp($min = qx#/bin/date +%M#);

#chomp($webserver = qx#/sbin/hostname#);
#or set whatever you like wants
$webserver = "name_of_webserver";
$server= "localhost";
$count=0;
$file="/opt/lampp/htdocs/Admin/stats/history/$year/$month/$day/stats.$hour.$min.shtml";
$current_stats="stats.$hour.$min.shtml";
$workdir="/opt/lampp/htdocs/Admin/stats";

#######problem code

sub printhtml {
print FH "<TD>";
print FH "<A HREF\=\"$current_stats\#$server\"> $server </A>";
print FH "\<\/TD>";
}

any help would be appreciated,

Thank you, Singist

try :

sub printhtml {
print FH "<TD>";
print $current_stats;
print $server;
print FH "<A HREF\=\"$current_stats\#$server\"> $server </A>";
print FH "\<\/TD>";
}

thank you for replying. It didnt work however, it just sends the output to the command line. I should mention at this point, this script tries to login to hosts on local network using rsh <because they're trusted> to minotor uptime etc. all the output is sent to apache web server. The script creates all the necassary files and folders in apache but there is no content because it cant get past line 51 <as above>...its the $current_stats variable its having problems with.

Are you running Perl with warnings? If not, try that and see if it gives any more info. On the surface, it's hard to tell what could be going wrong.

It might be having parsing probs with that line.
try using
${current_stats}\#${server}\"> ${server}
The '${}' syntax helps the parser separate real var names from similar strings.
