The above line could also be written:
substr $_, index($_, $ss), length($ss), $rs;
Wouldn't it be this instead?
substr $_, index($_, $ss), length($ss) = $rs;
That won't work. Because of precedence it evaluates to:
substr $_, index($_, $ss), ( length($ss) = $rs );
Ah yes, good catch as always John. To fix the above method you need:
substr($_, index($_, $ss), length($ss)) = $rs;
