Good Morning Everyone! I am generating a HTML page from my perl script.My requirement is to set a different background color to rows depending on the "IF" conditions they satisfy.I have the following code: 
while (my $line = <$IN>) {
       if ( $line =~ /.*MATCH.*/){
       
        #$ret .= "<tr>$line</tr>\n";  ###This is defined separately an
+d it works,but the color is overwritten when I write next set of line
+s
        $ret .= <div style="background-color: orange">$line</div>\n;
        }
        $ret .= "  </tr>\n\n";
           
        }
           
close $IN;
return $ret;

I get this error :

Bareword found where operator expected at trynew.pl line 105, near ""

$line
\n"" syntax error at trynew.pl line 105, near ""<div style="background" Execution of trynew.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Please help,what is the correct syntax
