in thread Perl/UNIX .profile problem

I downloaded the code you suggested but there appears to be an error in it! When I attempt to test it I get the following error -
syntax error at xxrcprofsub.pl line 8, near "m/^(.*?)=((?:[^\n\\]|\\.| +\\\n)*)/gm ;"

    There's a closing ) missing on that line. Add it and the code will run... or see 408740.
