Re: spam problem

in reply to spam problem

This code doesn't give a syntax error with perl 5.10, but will with any earlier version. Perhaps it would be better if you copy & pasted the error message.

That said, I have a couple of guesses:

You are really running 5.10, aren't you?
You've capitalised "Comment", but not "addr" and "name". Is that correct?

FunkyMonk, The Cap for Comment is correct as are addr and name. The we site is on a large University of Va server and its version of Perl is 4.0 Patch level 35 , So I have to wrk with that. Can you suggest a sequence that would work with Perl 4.0 much obliged	[reply]

Wow. Perl 4.035. That's old, real old. According to perlhist 4.035 was released 1992-Jun-23. The first version of Perl I can remember using was 4.036, but it wasn't until 1998 (with 5.004.04) that I started using Perl seriously (at least that's the earliest Perl file I can find). You have my sympathies, having to deal with Perl 4.	[reply]
