Great attitude :D
Here is something you should see, splain/diagnostics (eventually , you'll want to read Use strict warnings and diagnostics or die aka Read this if you want to cut your development time in half!)
$ cat foo.err.log syntax error at test.plx line 3, near ") {" syntax error at test.plx line 6, near "}" $ splain < foo.err.log syntax error at test.plx line 3, near ") {" (#1) (F) Probably means you had a syntax error. Common reasons include +: A keyword is misspelled. A semicolon is missing. A comma is missing. An opening or closing parenthesis is missing. An opening or closing brace is missing. A closing quote is missing. Often there will be another error message associated with the synt +ax error giving more information. (Sometimes it helps to turn on -w. +) The error message itself often tells you where it was in the line +when it decided to give up. Sometimes the actual error is several toke +ns before this, because Perl is good at understanding random input. Occasionally the line number may be misleading, and once in a blue + moon the only way to figure out what's triggering the error is to call perl -c repeatedly, chopping away half the program each time to se +e if the error went away. Sort of the cybernetic version of S<20 questions>. syntax error at test.plx line 6, near "}" (#1)
For a question to be effective, the curtain (code) should match the drapes (error).
On a related note, instead of It LOOKS right... an effective title might have been syntax error at test.plx line 3, near ") {"
