Hi bobafifi,

Something in my syntax isn't working (and I'm not seeing it!)

We're not seeing it either, if you don't show us!  What exactly ARE you getting?  When I added: 

use strict;
use warnings;

[download]

at the top of the program, and assigned a value to $total_recs (since I have no idea what value you are starting with): 

my $total_recs = 123;

[download]

and changed for $i (@pages) to for my $i (@pages), I got the output: 

Page 1 of <a href="http://www.example.com/page1.shtml">http://www.exam
+ple.com/pa
ge1.shtml</a><br>
<a href="http://www.example.com/page2.shtml">http://www.example.com/pa
+ge2.shtml<
/a><br>
<a href="http://www.example.com/page3.shtml">http://www.example.com/pa
+ge3.shtml<
/a><br>
<a href="http://www.example.com/page4.shtml">http://www.example.com/pa

<a href="http://www.example.com/page8.shtml">http://www.example.com/pa

/a><br>
<a href="http://www.example.com/page9.shtml">http://www.example.com/pa

<a href="http://www.example.com/page11.shtml">http://www.example.com/p
+age11.shtm
l</a><br>
<a href="http://www.example.com/page12.shtml">http://www.example.com/p
+age12.shtm
l</a><br>

[download]

which looks fine to me.  It's the output for each page from 1 to 12 (as 123 / 10 = 12.3).

Please explain exactly what YOU are getting, and why you think it's wrong.

s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/
