Question

I am trying to parse a string and place the parts in an array, and then assign the array components to new variables. I have done this the exact same way in my code and it works, but now it fails, and I have no clue why. I think it is something simple, and I am too close to see it.

sub timeDiff {
    my ($tday,$tmon,$tyear,$pday,$pmon,$pyear,$tvalue,$pvalue,$reset);
    my (@arrSplitTDate,@arrSplitPDate,$arrSplitTDate,$arrSplitPDate);
    $tvalue = $_[0];
    $pvalue = $_[1];

    print $tvalue;
    print $pvalue;
    @arrSplitTDate = split(/\//, $tvalue);
    $tday = $arrSplitTdate[1];
    $tmon = $arrSplitTdate[0];
    $tyear = $arrSplitTdate[2];

    print $tday . "\n";
    print $tmon . "\n";
    print $tyear . "\n";
}

This is the error:

Global symbol "@arrSplitTdate" requires explicit package name at LargeLDAPSearch.pl line 173, <DATA> line 558.

Anyone see the reason for the error? Thank you.

Answer 1

Your camelCasing is different between variable declaration and intended use.

arrSplitTDate vs. arrSplitTdate
