After i declare the variable as you suggested, it comes out another error, said 'use of uninitialized value $A in concatenation <.>.....'

#Main body

while (my $line = <TEMP>)
{   
    my $A;
    my $B;
    my @column = split (/,/,$line);
    if ($column[4] < $column[7])
       { $A = $direction[0];
       }else {$A = $direction[1]; }
    if ($column[5] < $column[8])
       { $B = $direction[2];
       }else {$B = $direction[3]; }
    my $dir = $A.$B;
    
     print OUTPUT $column[4],$comma,$column[5],$comma,$column[7],$comm
+a,$column[8],$comma,$dir,$comma,$nline;
 }

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.
