the line by itself is a syntax error. could it actually be something inside of a pod like:
=item $Explanation = < ) ); =cut that you are not aware of? anything between =item and =cut is ignored by Perl. or something like a here document as: ($Explanation =<<whatever); hello world whatever or something like: ($Explanation = $<); or ($Explanation = <>); if you provide more lines above or below this line, we might be able to help you figure out what it actually does. david Prachi Shah wrote: > Hi! > > I have this code written by someone and there's no documentation to it.
