in thread getting a while loop to terminate

I guess I don't follow you here:

$  perl -le " die 666 if q/0/ "
$ perl -le " die 666 if $what = q/0/ "
syntax error at -e line 1, near "if  ="
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

My shell doesn't interpolate $what, as you can see from the session I posted, use single quotes if your shell interpolates doubles Or you could even omit `$what =` Whether it is assigned to a variable or not , '0' is always false	[reply] [d/l]
