Re: [MacPerl] Having a problem with format

[siberian <siberian@waveconcepts.com>]

I think your terminating period has to be at the start of the line flush
at the left side, yours is tabbed in and this may break it.

I tried your code even under UNIX perl and it broke. By moving the period
flush left it fixes the problem.
