in reply to command line error

Hmm, let's see how the searching goes

no site:perlmonks.org Can't find string terminator "'" at -e line 1

site:perlmonks.org Can't find string terminator "'" at -e line 1 ... 5th page? Can't find string teminator

Ick, the search engines are useless :(

title search yields no results Can't find string terminator "'" (hello title )

Its a good thing Super Search is still super.
