Re: why does this perl routine error?

in reply to why does this perl routine error?

You have more than one split in there. If the first split can't split because the search string isn't found then the complete string would be in $url[0]. Consequently $url[1] would be undef. Same for @url1

Thank I will look into this now:) I am happy when i finally program with strict and warnings on since I can declare lexicals strictly and make easily reusable modules:)

Well, there is a right way and a wrong way to do lexicals, declaring them all up front is the wrong way
