Re^3: regex/perl question about uninitialized value

I've no idea what problem you're describing here. Well, except that

   open <ID>, '<', 'textfile.txt';
[download]

looks very strange. But that doesn't seem related to the line with the OOOPS.

Oh, well... I see now, I'm stupid You're right, I'm over a false problem. The error message I had was for the over ID, extra "<>" stuff... I was thinking that I had another type of problem here, that in fact is not a problem at all to Perl; not unless you wrote: `my $mystring = "ABC".<ID>."blahblah</ID>DEF";` That is a very different situation to... `my $mystring = "ABC<ID>blahblah</ID>DEF";` So I was in the clouds again (what a zurprize)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
