When I tried to run my application, it says

Global symbol "%files" requires explicit package name at c:\codes\testing2.pl line 9.

Can anybody tell me what does this means and how to I solve this? I googled it but I still dont get it.

When you are using the strict pragma you have to declare your variables first. This is done using the my function.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. use strict;
2.  
3. my %hash;
4.  

------------------------------------------------------------
Pragmas (perl 5.8.8) used :

• strict - Perl pragma to restrict unsafe constructs
