in reply to Why do I get a 'found = in conditional, should be ==' error ? (was: Am I smoking Crack?)

Yes.

That is a great example of poor programing style. Remember, "White space is cheap" and then try something like: 

if( $2 eq "No" and $3 eq "F" )
{
    $failed = 1;
    $failed_job = $1;
    last LOOP;
}
