( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hi All,

Am trying to read directory/subdirectories and for files from a path recursively. Once file found in any directory, reading file content(usually just 1 line in a file) and substituting space with comma from the line. then I need to pass the values to another sub functions.

Problem : 1. line number 35 doesn't seems to be working. when i try to print $line, it doesn't show anything/value. 2. Need to pass @columns/@filenames/@dir_names to the sub function(&write_output) called in line number 46.

Can someone tell me where am doing wrong and help me out

I need to know is there any tool/utlity for Windows XP where in which in can run the perl script line by line debugging mode so, that i can see what's happen to the variables during run time.

Many Thanks...

  • 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).
