Bug PERL Syntax Errors

Hi,

I am a newbie to PERL and working on a script. When running it I get a lot of compilation errors.

The actual command in the program (which is within a case structure) is given below

# This gives the actual count of inquires from a log file (It works fine when I type this on the command line)
# $output is the actual log file name

inq1) grep 'Number of inquiries :' $output | sort -u | awk '{print $5}' > inq1-CTR;


The following error message appears multiple times

Scalar found where operator expected at ./inquires_rpt line 104, near ""Number of inquires:" $output"
(Missing operator before $output?)
String found where operator expected at ./inquiries_rpt line 104, near "awk '{print $5}'"
(Do you need to predeclare awk?)

Please let me know what I need to do to fix this. I am also searching on the net for a solution.

Since I have no background in this, I don't have my debugging skills built up yet to scout for the hot spots.

Thanks
