Hi folks I've got the following code which generates
Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/html/consumables.html on
line 290
when I try to run it. The script doesn't run because of the parse
error
$orderSQL=~s/TOTAL/$or_total/;
$orderSQL is a string containing a number of SQL statements with
the placeholder &total; and $or_total has a value of '695.76'
% perl -wle '$or_total="695.76"; \
$orderSQL="TOTAL"; \
$orderSQL=~s/TOTAL/$or_total/; \
print $orderSQL'
695.76
The error is somewhere else.

I see your point, but if I comment out the line the script works fine.
I've not manages to fix it, but have re-structured the script so it
works differently but does the job.
Yes, but the working assumption is that the code is broken, not the
parser. So I would try to be sure I understand where's the problem.
Otherwise, seeing it just disappear by blind code manipulation, you
cannot be sure the program is not still broken.
