I have run into a problem receiving a "scalar found where operator expected at ./bunkerhtml.pl line 425, at end of line" error.

This bit of code is found in the html_add_success section. It works fine on the email to user. (see code below):

%rec = &get_record($in{$db_key});
# send mail to user
open (MAIL, "$mailprog") or &cgierr("unable to open mail program");
print MAIL "To: $rec{'Email'}\n";
print MAIL "From: LHOS Support Request System\n";
print MAIL "Subject: New Record Added to Bunker Help Desk Request System\n";
print MAIL "This is an automated message. Please do not attempt to reply.\n\n";
print MAIL "A ticket has been submitted with the following information.\n\n";
print MAIL "You should receive a second email confirming that your request\n";
print MAIL "has been entered into the IOM Request System.\n\n";
print MAIL "If you do not receive this confirmation within one hour, contact\n";
print MAIL "LHOS at (901) 263-2830. Please refer to the above Ticket # when\n";
print MAIL "you call.\n\n";
print MAIL "-" x 75 . "\n\n";
foreach $column(@db_cols) {
print MAIL "$column: $rec{$column}\n\n";
}
close MAIL;


I think the problem seems to be in the send email to admin section (see code below):

# send mail to admin
open (MAIL, "$mailprog") or &cgierr("unable to open mail program");
#print MAIL "To: $admin_email\n";
print MAIL "From: LHOS Support Request System\n";
print MAIL "Subject: New Record Added to Bunker Help Desk Request System\n";
print MAIL "-" x 75 . "\n\n";
foreach $column(@db_cols) {
print MAIL "$column: $rec{$column}\n\n";
}
close MAIL;


Does anyone have an idea on what is causing this error? I've looked high and low but have not found anything wrong..

Thanks!

It'd really help to know what was on line 425. Try downloading a text editor that shows line numbers (such as Textpad - it's free).

A scalar is a string or number so I'd say you've got something mistyped such as "r" instead of "or" since it is expecting an operator.

Could it be this line?
print MAIL "-" x 75 . "\n\n";

I'd also check this line:

print MAIL "LHOS at (901) 263-2830. Please refer to the above Ticket # when\n";

Try changing ticket # to No. as the pound sign could be causing it to ignore the rest of the line as a comment?
