Need Help??

basicdez has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Can't modify not in scalar assignment at ExampleConCat.pl line 3, near
+ ""foo000";"

This is the code that is generating this error, please help me if you can.

!#/usr/bin/perl-e

$x = "foo000";
 $x++;
 print $x, "\n";
[download]

peace, LOVE and ((code)) basicdez

Also, are you sure you meant "-e" on the "#!" line? I don't think that works. Rich36 There's more than one way to screw it up...	[reply]
