Hi, Peter,
I can't replicate your problem using the code you posted. For me, it
works with or without the "|| $field =~ m/\W+/)" part. (Without
it, the regex doesn't match, but it doesn't die with a compilation
error.)
I suspect you may have a syntax error. Check your code carefully.
It may be that you've accidentally chopped off the / that ends the
regex, or something. The code should look like this:
Variant 1:
> elsif ($field =~ m/^[0-9]*\s+[0-9]$/ || $field =~ m/\W+/) {
Variant 2:
> elsif ($field =~ m/^[0-9]*\s+[0-9]$/) {
If that doesn't help, please post more of the surrounding code, and
we'll have another crack at it.
Thanks,
