Thanks! I didn't know those variables were local by default. It works now.
I'm sure you can all undoubtably see what I'm trying to acheive: take some text
that's stored in a variable and output it to the browser w/ all the urls in that
text (if any) hyperlinked with their respective address. I'm sure there's a
better way to do this. My code only does it's thing for one occurance of a url.
As I'm looking at the messages in this embperl discussion, I notice that any
urls that are present are hyperlinked. Gerald? (I assume he made this)
