Hi perl Gurus,

Here is the code in tags. I'd made it simple code for not to look more confusing.


Code:
use Net::Telnet;

@DATE=$telnet->cmd("date '+%Y-%m-%d'");
chomp($DATE[0]);

@Discon=$telnet->cmd("cat /data/pinpe.csv_20070731 | nawk '{print \$4}' | perl -ne 'print if \$_ lt @DATE[0]' | wc -l");
chomp($Discon[0]); 

print "@Discon[0]\n";

and this is the output error:
Code:
Illegal octal digit '8' at -e line 1, at end of line

Was it perl thought that I was dealing with an octal number and when he came along with 8 or 9 (becasue of 2007-08-01) which stopped it from making sense, so perl quite rightly complained? Pls help. Tnx.

Br,
Pete
