Your code sample and the error message don't match. You're using print and that error message is about printf. It's coming from somewhere else -- you need to figure out where first.

As to the error itself, there's no format specification %) (nor %\n). You may be thinking that the percent sign goes both before and after the format (like %s%). It doesn't, it only goes in front (like %s).

Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.

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.
