hi there,

I have to write a set of codes in perl using shell scripts. the code that i have to insert in the file is

perl -pe 'print q{ [% IF template.name.match('\.(css|js|txt)');debug("Passing page through as text: $template.name"); content; ELSE; debug("Applying HTML page layout wrappers to $template.name\n"); content WRAPPER site/html + site/layout; END;-%]} if $.==4' -i Topo/root/lib/site/wrapper.pm

the code works on getting the name wrapped.

I have been gettin a syntax error in the line
[% IF template.name.match('\.(css|js|txt)');
syntax error near unecpected token.

Is that any thing to do with \. in the code.?

thanks in advance.


The ' within the code is being taken as the shell string terminator.

I would suggest you save the Perl program in a file and run it from the file rather than trying to write an entire program on one command line
