in thread A string that begins with $ (again)

They aren't being stripped off. use this.. to test 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

#no need here, but you should put this in all your scripts.
use strict;

while (<>) {
    print "$_\n";
}

    Thanks, NOw i just have to figure out how to test every line and store the right one in a var.
    I canīt do a:
    !#/user/bin/perl -w

use strict;

while (<>) {

print "$var";
}
