Use of uninitialized value $url_from_pan in concatenation (.) or string
at /home/btth/bin/alpine_helper.pl line 4.
[b...@hbsk2 ~]$
I created alpine_helper.pl with nano, but now nano can't open it,
nor can gedit. The only editor I found that works is kwrite; according to
it, the file contains :
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $url_from_pan = $ARGV[0];
my $command = "Terminal -e 'alpine -url " . $url_from_pan . "'";
system($command);
Have I messed it up somehow?
Btw, I had a look at man Terminal yesterday, and found it did not
mention any -e switch; so I took that out of my Pan preferences; but it
still didn't work.
