in thread trouble with substitution

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; my $dat = require "dump.txt";

It has been very handy for me.

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
