Question

i know this isnt java but i need to know how to do this for class for this class is a prerequisite to the java servlets class. Please help, i am just starting to learn perl and this error doesnt make sence to me.
this is my error...
Unquoted string "cnt" may clash with future reserved word at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ANDwebs\cgi-bin\form2.pl line 19.
Can't modify constant item in postincrement (++) at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ANDwebs\cgi-bin\form2.pl line 19, near "cnt++"
Execution of c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ANDwebs\cgi-bin\form2.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
this is my code...
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/html \n\n";
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@fields = qw(fullName compName add1 add2 city state zip email dayPhone evePhone fax);
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
@values;
$cnt;
foreach $key (@pairs)
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $key);
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C",hex($1))/eg;
$value =~ s/<!--(.|\n)*-->//g;
$values[cnt++] = $value;
foreach $key (@fields){
print "$key";
}

Answer 1

$values[cnt++] = $value;cnt should be $cnt.
Also remember to always put:
use strict;
at the beginning of all your Perl programs!!!
However, the fact that this is for a class that is a prerequisite for a Java class doesn't make this a Java question. Please post your Perl questions to the comp.lang.perl.* newsgroups.
