I ought clarify.
It's not a problem with the command line, or anything like that, it's
a problem with if/conditional statement Perl simply wouldn't compile/
run the script. Take for example this alternative: -
hopesprings# cat > test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$test = "cheese";
$test_two = "ontoast";
if($test =~ /^che/i)
{
print "$test contains che\n";
}
if($test =~ /che/i || $test_two =~ /toast/i)
{
print "Test two contains toast and test contains che\n");
}
hopesprings# ./test.pl
syntax error at ./test.pl line 12, near ""Test two contains toast and
test contains che\n")"
Execution of ./test.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
