in reply to Confusing grep behavior

The first is a syntax error which caused the perl on my machine (Activeperl 5.8.8 build 822) to spit out:
panic: ck_grep at C:/Documents and Settings/bri/workspace/PerlMonks/te +mp.pl line 10 (#1) (P) Failed an internal consistency check trying to compile a grep. Uncaught exception from user code: panic: ck_grep at C:/Documents and Settings/bri/workspace/PerlMonk +s/temp.pl lin e 10. at C:/Documents and Settings/bri/workspace/PerlMonks/temp.pl line 10

What did you really mean it to say?
