in reply to Failed match/substitution

Looks like $page_dir has a trailing newline, and you need to chomp it.

As a stylistic point, you have major LTS (leaning toothpick syndrome). Your code'll be much nicer to read if you use something like m#http://# instead of /http:\/\//.

    Thanks for your response. I'll try chomping it. Also thanks for the suggestion on using the alternate seperators. That'll read much better.
