    split function

    hi to all......am very new to perl....so dnt knw much abt it....
    i have a txt file.....so i have to split the values using delimiters.eg have following text-
    Colombian|The finest Colombian beans, low flame roasted to yield a rich flavour.|7.99|
    but when i use the split function using '|' as delimiter, it gives me errors-
    use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string

    i used the following function
    split(/|/,$_);

      the delimiter you are using - | - is a speacial character when used in a regular expression. To avoid the problem you need to escape the | character:

      split(/\|/,$_);

                  I don't understand the question. But if you want to make html code, open a file and add html tags and content as required.

                  Code:
                  open(FH, "index.htm") or die "$!";
print "<html><head><title>test</title></head><body>Hello World</body></html>";
close(FH);
