Re: Why are this pattern match failing ?

embarassing: $string eq m/pattern/

not embarassing: $string =~ m/pattern/

Oh, wait, that doesn't answer the question. :) I don't know why $d[0] is uninitialized... perhaps your database returned an undef or there were no rows to fetch, or you never did an execute. Who can tell. From the code snipped, eq vs =~ is the only real problem I can see.

UPDATE: JavaFan, OIC. Yeah, I missed that.

`$d[0]` isn't uninitialized, but `$_` is. And that's where the pattern matches against.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
