you are correct, you do not need " " around $.
thank you!
I was using strict and warnings, but must of had another error.
I am unfamiliar with the variable $.? I tried playing with it, but was
unsuccessful. I could not find it in cookbook nor in programming perl.
linect=$.
linect=1;
while ( <FILEHANDLE>) {
if ( $linect > 9 ) {
do whatever ...
}
$linect++;
}

No you don't.
my $linecount = $.;
works just fine.
And is there a reason you don't want to use $.? That is, why create
another variable which does the same thing?
