That won't work. Because of precedence it evaluates to:
substr $_, index($_, $ss), ( length($ss) = $rs );
Ok. I get it now. Didn't realize I was doing that :D
perldoc -f substr
I was looking it up in the "Learning Perl 3rd" edition.

Still a great book. Should have checked perldoc. At this rate I won't be a Perl Noob for long ;-) Learned something new today!
BTW, is the above what you guys call "bottom posting"?
Sure is.
