Re^4: can I make my regexp match first pattern instead of last?

Using the string as a filehandle works fine. But now I get a runtime error that says "Can't use string ("") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use"

on this line of code:

open $ResultsHandle, '<', \$return;

So how can I use strict, which is required by Perl Best Practices, and process a multi line string one line at a time?

Thanks, Kurt
