RE: if then else

[WPhillips]

 I am relatively new at Perl, but shouldn't there also be an opening curly
brace ( { ) like this:

##############
##set $previous site var.
##############
if ($ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} = "") {  #<---this curly brace?
       {$previous = "an unknown site"}
       else
       {$previous = "$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}}; #<--because you closed this if
statement here

##############
##set $previous site var.
##############

       {$previous = "an unknown site"}
       else
       {$previous = "$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}};
