in thread Why isn't this subroutine working?

Then you are misinterpreting the error message. For example,

>perl -e"while ($x) { if ($y) { } } elsif ($z) { } }" syntax error at -e line 1, near "} elsif" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. >perl -e"while ($x) { if ($y) { } elsif ($z) { } }" >

Replacing elsif with random words is not a suitable bug fix.
