Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear All,

I am trying to make a hash using a table data, the data part is really big:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my ($file_list, $file_data)=@ARGV; my %MYHASH; #create hash sub do_hash { my $filename=shift; open(FH, $filename) or die "Can't open $filename: $!\n"; while(<FH>){ my ($Name, $Data)=(split)[0,1]; while (my ($key, $value)=each (%MYHASH)){ print "$Name=>$Data, ";} } } do_hash('file_data'); close FH; exit;
and my data looks like: 38x11     N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N T - C T T C - - - G T G - A A A - C C T C T G C T G G A A T A C A C A C A C G C T C A G T A C A C T A G T T G G T A C A T G A A T C T A A T G A A G T C A G G G A A A G A G T A C T A A T T T T C G C G A G T A A A G G G A A G G C T G G A T C C T T T T T A G G C C C G T T C C A A T C T C G C G A G A T A A A C T T T A G C A G C T T T T T T T A A G C T A C T T T T A G C T A T T T G T A A T C T A A A C A G G A G A T C T A A T T G T G A T A A T T G A A G T T A A A C T T T A G C A C T T T A A T T C A T A T A G C T A A A G T T T A G C A G G A A G C T A A A G T T T ....
when I run it, it gives me:
"Bareword found where operator expected at dsilk_data line 1, near "11 N"
(Missing operator before N?)"
What does it mean and how can i get rid of it?
