Re^2: Anyone know why I can't scrape this page?

"I get a file not found page."

Upon closer review, I also get that error. The file that cannot be found is /nfl/odds/las-vegas/line-movement/jets-dolphins.cfm which I find odd seeing as the url in the script is nfl/odds/las-vegas/line-movement/jets-@-dolphins.cfm. (Notice the @ sign between the NFL teams).

Either escape the alleged array or use single quotes.

I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!

chomp; # nom nom nom

The '@' is followed by an '-' here, which is not allowed as valid identifier. So it can't be an array. But to make sure I would use single quotes, too. Update: striked that rubbish. See my answer.	[reply]

So Perl sees that there is an '@' followed by a '-' and removes that from the string? I'm so adjective, I verb nouns! chomp; # nom nom nom	[reply]

Ah, sorry! I misunderstood my test outputs. '@-' is interpolated as array! update: Damn, '@-' is predefined and can be found in perlvar; Since I have never used it I wasn't aware of it.	[reply]
