It doesn't, but it was a mistake that indicated ignorance and the right thing 
to do was to correct it so they won't make the mistake again.

Sorry, I may still have been in a bad mood from earlier. In any case, this 
quote was right on the mark in this case, as the OP was obviously inventing 
syntax.

My reply also contained a factual answer why what they tried did not work and 
how to remedy it (you trimmed it in your reply). And http://perl-begin.org/ , 
while being one of my sites, is nevertheless exactly what the OP needs at this 
point.

I may have insulted them and I apologise for that (although I was quoting an 
old joke from MJD), but my response was still helpful.
