I have recently discovered the horrible truth
about combining loops and pattern matching. As you may have
guessed, the following will only work on the
initial values of $record and @BAN.
My understanding (basic, as it may be) is that the matching tables
are created at compile time, and, therefore, the
subsequent iterations of the loop will all look exactly
the same as the first interation.

Given that @BLIST is an array of file names,
and that @LOOP contains some HTML code,
Please consider the following:

foreach $record (@BLIST) {
  open(BAN, $record) || &Error($!);
    @BAN = <BAN>;
  close BAN;

  foreach $line (@LOOP) {
    $line =~ s/FNAME/$record/;
    $line =~ s/BANNER/@BAN/;
    print $line;
  }
}

I have been researching this issue for a while and
cannot figure out how to make this work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.
