Where does this PS come from.

locked_user Xaphoid has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm working on a script to disassemble an RSS Feed using XML::Simple, then digging out the data I want. While experimenting I notice when I go to print results the characters, 'PS' are appended to the end of what ever I print out.

use XML::Simple;
my $data = XML::Simple->new()->XMLin();
my %channel = %{$data->{channel}};
print $channel{title},"\n";
[download]

produces the channel title as expected but before I get my prompt back 'PS' is printed. Any idea where this is coming from? -abc

I don't know what 'PS' is, but your code has some errors. XML::Simple has a 'strict mode' that can help you debug your code. Try this: `use strict; use warnings; use XML::Simple qw(:strict);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Have you thought about looking at $channel{title} under Data::Dumper? That might provide a clue for you as to where the PS is coming from. Revolution. Today, 3 O'Clock. Meet behind the monkey bars. If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?	[reply]
