Re^2: literal meaning of a variable

Except !~ is a binary operator. Perhaps you meant:

...
    next if !/$find/;
    next if !/$date/;

Though I would be tempted to instead use:

...
    next unless /$find/;
    next unless /$date/;

Except !~ is a binary operator. heh... well, I did say it was untested :) What I meant was: `next if ($_ !~ /$find/);` Although I guess in that context it's essentially the same as: `next if !/$find/;` yes? Ever since I read TheDamian's PBP, I tend to try and avoid unless :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
