I'm lost.
I agree with Japhy that a split is probably the best solution, but to answer your question, you have a space between '=' and '~', which is causing the pattern match to not bind to the $word variable. my ($target, $count, $num) = $word = ~ /^\s*(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s*$/; should be my ($target, $count, $num) = $word =~ /^\s*(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s*$/; Hope this helps...
