Re: nevermind

Actually, I didn't write the code.  It was written by someone else whom
no longer works at our company.

Why did you change the subject to "nevermind"? The subject didn't change.

You used the /x modifier which allows for comments within regular 
expressions. Remove /x, and the old regex will work as expected.


Read "perldoc perlre" too.

You also could have written it this way:

open AUTHFILE, ";
close AUTHFILE;

Check out what the x-modifier means (read perlre).

You need to read
perldoc perlre

It's special because for some reason you chose to use the /x
modifier.  This modifier allows you to use both whitespace and
comments inside your regular expressions.

Since you obviously don't know what the /x modifier does, why are you
using it?  Blindly typing code that you don't understand is a really
bad way to program.

P.S.  (Yes, I know PBP recommends always using /mxs, but anyone who
uses /msx on every regexp because PBP recommends it should at least
read enough of PBP to know *why* its recommended)

You'll notice in the section that creates the filehandle I have a statement that
says "next if $address =~ m/^#/gmx;".  I had to escape the "#".  Can anyone tell
me why that is?  It isn't a special character for regexes that I've ever seen 
used.

Thanks,
Mathew

major dumb question, but was the error message

	"unable to find new method"

and/or the one where it asserts

	"did you forget to load foo::Bar::Baz..."

that normally comes when one starts with

use warnings;

or did I miss seeing that in the thread
