What about it? The interpolation is fine.
Whatever $line contained at the moment, $termine[ $line + 1] was undefined,
that's all.
The message (a warning, not an error message)
"Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string..."
is very common and hardly weird. It describes exactly what happened.

Hum, maybe I got misleaded by my reading, but I thought the op tried to
print the $line'th + 1 element of $termine. Is interpolation the wrong
term for interpreted symbols (functions, vars) in quoted strings? If so, I
would thank you for clearing me up.

It means that the array element you try to print either doesn't exist or
is undefined. When you include a variable together with other stuff
between doublequotes, you concatenate the variable value with the other
stuff into a string. The above is the same as:
print $termine[($line + 1 )] . " \n\n";

I have another Question:
when you use \n with print, you get a new line.
Is there something that makes print continue to write on the same line?

Could somebody possibly explain the expected difference with respect to
the above warning?

Don't print \n ... ???
You've got to mean something else though, surely?

Youre right, I meen that it erases the thing before:
I want to print the time
and then I want to replace the time with the new one.
Is there any way to do this?

\n represents a newline in Perl whether used in a print() statement or
elsewhere.

Don't print newlines...?

Have you tested the OPs code with appropriately set up @termine and $line?
It works as expected.
Once interpolation is triggered by "$" or "@", anything goes. In particular,
the index in "$array[ ...]" can be any Perl expression, including "$line +
1". This is how interpolation of arbitrary expressions can be enforced
(or simulated, if you prefer):
"string @{ [ lc $obj->meth] } more string"
is a common, though not very popular idiom.

If you're printing to a screen, you may want "\r", but the exact effect
would depend on your system and the terminal emulation you're running.
If you're printing to a file, there is no character code to overwrite a
line already written.

local $| = 1;
print 'Hello!';
sleep 3;
print "\015", "Good-bye!\n";;

It means either that element ($line + 1) of the array
@termine is undefined.

Yes. Don't use \n.

Message-Id: <1108497064.993812.146240@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com>
Hello all,
I have been trying to install Net::SFTP for 3 weeks now and everytime I
seem to solve an issue, another one comes up. I am running AIX 5.1 and
I found out that the Math::Pari module needed Perl 5.8.0. I am finally
down to compiling Crypt::IDEA. This is the only one I have left to
start compiling Net:SSH.
I get the following when I do "make":
_idea.c:8: endian.h: A file or directory in the path name does not
exist.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.
Any ideas what this include file is for and How can I get it? I don't
have in my system? is ot possible to change it?
Thanks in advance,
BTNA

Works wonderful. Thanks alot.
This gave me 1033 on one computer and 1053 on the other.
Some mouse clicking in the MS Object Browser
gave msoLanguageIDEnglishUS = 1033
and msoLanguageIDSwedish = 1053
and thats all I need.
Thanks again.
