[MacPerl] chunk 27 error ???

[Dave Shaffer <dshaffer@classroom.net>]

I'm writing a script using MacPerl to check the validity of local hrefs
in html files
for a CD-ROM my company  is producing.   I loop through all directories
and their 
subdirectories (600mb+)  and parse all .htm files...

My question is:  what is a "chunk 27 error"?


When I did this:

       <snip>
             foreach $file (<*.htm>) {      
                open (THEFILE,$file) || die "Could not open $file"
                while (<THEFILE>) { 
                   s/\n//g;             
                   while (/<A *HREF *\= *"*([^>]+)"* *> *(.+?)<\/A>/gi)
{
                      $numlinks++;
       </snip>

I got this error:
 
      <snip>
          # Could not open  TOC.HTM.
          File '...'; Line 272 # <THEFILE> chunk 27        <---
          :/CIVILWAR/LIBCONG/ TOC.HTM
      </snip>


Any ideas??

thank you
