Hi. Other than following somebody else's suggestions for lines of Perl (Practical extraction and reporting language) code to correct, I don't think I have ever written a full script in Perl and don't know much about the Perl interpreter. Currently I have Perl 5.18.2 installed in a 64-bit, openSUSE Leap, 42.1 Linux operating system. A Perl subroutine written by other people and with a name of the form “make_....._href” that begins with the line of code of the form ''sub make_...._href {'' ends with a line of code looking like ''<A NAME=...... HREF=......>...</A>'';}, or text enclosed by a pair of double-quotation marks, as well as a closing semicolon for I suppose the line of code and a closing right brace to complement the opening left brace and complete the enclosure of the subroutine's contents. I suspect that the purpose of such a line of code is to eventually facilitate the writing of at least a portion of a line in a .html (HyperText Markup Language), output file which at least sometimes may include a hyperlink to a different Web page or else to a location on the same Web page. But I don't think the line ''<A NAME=...... HREF=......>...</A>''; all by itself will enable any such writing to be performed in a .html file! Where should I be looking for the explicit command for such writing of that line in the .html, output file? I suspect that a built-in function of Perl might be involved in such writing. Do you, hopefully an experienced Perl programmer, agree with this guess of mine? Is there a built-in Perl subroutine with a name ending in href? And if so, how may I see its lines of code?

In reply to Where is the writing being ordered for within a .html, output file corresponding to the Perl subroutine line "<A NAME=.... HREF=...>...</A>";? by 2016User1
