Hi: I have a variable called $agent_id and want to create a string with the value of $agent_id followed by "-str". The following does not seem to work. The following example I want to create a variable called $35-str.
$agent_id = 25; $agent_id."-str" = "This is test\n"; I get the following error. bash-2.05$ ./test.1.pl Can't modify concatenation (.) or string in scalar assignment at ./test.1.pl line 14, near ""This is test\n";" Execution of ./test.1.pl aborted due to compilation errors. Anyone have comments on how I can accomplish this? Thanks Ravi ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
