either that or the "if (/$TYPETAG/i)" is not matching - so the block isn't
even being entered .. this would be most likely because even if the match on
line 29 doesn't match .. line 30 should still initialise $jobtype to (at the
very least) '::'
so my guess is that $TYPETAG doesn't appear on the line .. taking a look at
its contents - and using my Psi::ESP module .. I'm guessing that it's
because its value is
<!--ategory-->
where it should be
<!--category-->
but that's just a guess
