Need Help with Error

[keanesf]

I program that I am trying to run keeps giving me the error

Can't use string ("2") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/nmap-cgi/api//Nmap/CGI/Main.pm line 188.

I know I need to change the code around a bit to get it to work but I'm sure exactly what to do.

Here is Main.pm line 188

if( $#{@$nscans} > -1 )

What do I have to change?

I think its better written without the @ symbol when dereferencing the array reference and getting the number of the last index of the array using $#:

use strict;
use warnings;
my $nscans = [1,2];#<-- $nscans is a reference to an array
if( $#{$nscans} > -1 ){
   print "true";
}

The above code prints "true" when run with strict turned on. So I think the problem is elsewhere in your code. Are you sure $nscans is a reference to an array? Add this to your code and see what it prints:

print ref $nscans,"\n";

If $nscans is an array it should print ARRAY.
