Hi!

The error is not in the three lines you posted. However, as the error occurs in line 9 of your script, according to the error message, there must be more than these 3 lines. I'm confident that the actual error is somewhere above line 9. It's just that the parser doesn't give up until it realizes theres no possible way to tokenize your input. And it's not until line 9 that it realizes that it's a dead end road it's travelling. ;)

Show us the other 6 lines. I'm quite sure it's a missing semicolon, paren, brace or quote character somewhere above line 9.

So long,
Flexx

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
