silly beginners problem :)

hi

im trying to make a script to read a textfile with the following format:"

TITLE
Welcome to Carcinoma in Situ

"
i want my script to recognice the TITLE tag and save the following line(s) in $TITLE:

heres what i have done:

while (<>) {
  chomp;
        if (/TITLE\s*([A-Za-z]+)/) {
           $TITLE=$1;
  }
}
print $TITLE;

upon script textfile.txt > outputfile i get this error:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string in line (the one with print 
$TITLE in it)

i think my regex is not doing what i want it to do??? why?

:/

martin
