[Perl-unix-users] Easy one

[Nikko Odiseos]

I know this should be easy but what is the problem here:

if ($_ =~ /eventlog/) {
                $_ =~ s/.*=(.*)/$1/ ;
                $_ =~ s|\\|/|g;
                print "\$_ is $_"; # prints out "C:/xxxx/yyyy/xxxxx"
                $eventlog = $_;
                print "EVENTLOG IS $eventlog \n"; # prints out "EVENTLOG IS  "

Why can I not assign a scalar to have the value of $_ ?

Thanks
