Re: perl behavior with print command

($note +=1) is an "lvalue" - i.e. a value that can be assigned to.

"0" (a constant) cannot be assigned to (It cannot take a different value), so perl complains.

Note "%=" is essentially an assignment operator.

next error will be `print interpreted as a function..` because you have `print (..)` you can use the strange syntax `print +(..)` or the ugly `print "",(..)` one L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
