Just a quick note that, despite what many have appeared to assume, this may not be a question about the "grep" program as the noder refers to it as "the GREP function". It may simply be that the noder doesn't understand that Perl's grep works on a list of scalars (not on filenames) and requires either braces or a comma (or that was left out when the example was retyped).
jjdeterick should definitely take more care in crafting future questions (cutting and pasting the exact code involved and exactly what output and/or error is generated).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
