Hi. I'm confused. I don't have a copy of the Llama, and don't understand what the -o option is supposed to do. I also don't know what a 'conditional hook test' is.
I may be being ignorant, but all I can point out is this: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Can someone tell me what is going wrong with my conditional hook tests as marked below? > > #!/usr/bin/perl -w > use warnings; > #this program's specification is on page 167 > #in the Llama book under exercise 1 > my ($source, $go, $dest, $expression, $over); > print"\$over = 1" if($ARGV[0] eq "-o"); OK, but I wouldn't expect a command switch to appear in @ARGV unless you're passing it as: script "-o" Also, you're not setting $over anywhere, just printing a line which lies and says it's equal to 1 if you find "-o" int the first command line argument. Beyond that I can't help. Tell us more. Oh, and do you have a name, apart from 'anonymous8653120'?
