Perl is crazy. if you put a space after the "=", you will get this error. Something like this: $s = ~s/abc/def/g; This is ridiculas.

That's not "putting a space after the =", that's breaking the `=~` operator by spelling it wrong. Crazy? What's crazy is thinking that putting spaces in the middle of operators should have no effect. Thinking `= ~` should work is as crazy as thinking that `e q` should work, or `s ub`, or `m y`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
