I have this script which rotate postfix outgoing IP periodically. This script was running fine with perl version 5.8.0. But having problem which running on a new server which has perl version v5.8.8. The error is:
Code:
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ./test_aol.pl line 7.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ./test_aol.pl line 7.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./test_aol.pl line 19.
Thanks for you feedback NevemTeve. Now it's showing this error:
Argument "66.165.xx.xx" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at ./test_aol.pl line 7.
Argument "66.165.xx.xx\n" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at ./test_aol.pl line 7.
$newip might not be set if it doesn't match the if or elsif clauses. A standalone print "$newip\n"; will either show blank or error out. (Adding trace statements like this is the first thing I do when hit by puzzling errors.)
Also, you might need to chomp $ip; after reading from the file - one of your error messages shows that it contains a trailing newline.
