in reply to Use of a global scalar

our $text =~ s/$data[0]/$data[2]/g;
You should note that $data[0] is interpreted as a regular expression, which is probably not what you want. This common error is often the cause of vulnerabilities. See "DON'T" in perlcheat and "\Q" in perlre.

    Thank you much;
    It took me a little while to figure out that the regex was using the address instead of the value. I knew it wasn't working but didn't know why. Now I know where to look.
    Thanks, again.
