$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl

$ perl -ne "push @a,$_; /foo/ and exit 1; shift @a if $#a>3; END{$?==1
+ and print @a }" file

Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "0a"
        (Missing operator before a?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "0a"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

That sure is unexplained .. 0a??? where'd that come from. Seems the double quotes are playing a part in inducing this behaviour. Under singles it works fine.

NetWallah is probably on Win32, where the double-quotes are necessity. Your unixy shell is interpolating $# and replacing it with '0' in your code; thus: `shift @a if 0a>3;` Jeff `japhy` Pinyan, P.L., P.M., P.O.D, X.S.: Perl, regex, and `perl` hacker How can we ever be the sold short or the cheated, we who for every service have long ago been overpaid? ~~ Meister Eckhart	[reply] [d/l]
