Oh wise ones, I humbly beseech you...
I have a subroutine that conatins many unless statements (Seven to be exact), so with the left and right curly brackets for those and the ones for the begining and end of the sub that makes eight of each in total. They are all there, I have counted several times. : )
Despite the apparent matching of brackets, I still get the unmatched right curly bracket... error, on the line right at the end of the sub routine. I am running ActiveState Perl 5.61 on a win32 box, I have also tried it on a Linux box running the same version to the same result. What am I missing? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
I would post the offending sub routine but it is 200 odd lines long. It also contains a lot of HERE documents, as I have heard them called. For the unless commands, I have not included else {}, because I just want it to continue processing the sub. Perhaps this is my problem?
Would I be better off to reverse the logic and go with if.... else{} statements instead?
Any suggestions / comments much appreciated. If you require more information, just ask, I should be sitting here for a while yet...
Much appreciated,

Gerard
