Need Help??

$_ = /^(IPR\d+).*/

That doesn't do what you think it does.

To match against a variable, you use the binding operator (=~) not the assignment operator.

But, of course, you don't need to explicitly bind to $_ as that's the default operand for the match operator. So you can rewrite that as just:

/^(IPR\d+).*/

you might want to look at the `given/when` block introduced in Perl 5.10 , it is very well suited for parsing , I like it more than the if blocks :)	[reply] [d/l]
