When typing code on the command line, you often have to escape some characters depending on your system.
For example, the error message shows that: my $s = got munged by your shell into my = before it was passed to perl.

I escaped the two $s instances with backslashes and it worked fine. I'm still not sure why %s didn't need to be escaped. As you can probably tell, I'm not too well versed in the linux shell either...	[reply]
