That's exactly why I wanted to print "(@{$head})". It would tell me if $head contained stuff that shouldn't be there. The OP told me the following, "When I ran the script it printed: Field names detected: (# de tienda tipo ubicacion". I should have known -- because he didn't show me the closing paren ')' -- that his report to us was incomplete, and should have suspected that it lacked exactly the piece of information we were looking for.

That doesn't excuse my not having seen "undef $/" earlier in the script, but had he reported the full output, or had I noticed that his report was incomplete, it would have led us to look for the modification of $/ sooner even though it was at first not noticed.

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.
