Thank you, for providing me with the solution so quickly. To explain my self a little bit more… Some time ago I made a small Perl program for labeling my CD/DVDs and it was working well. I didn’t use the program for a few months, until couple days ago. But then program stopped working. I noticed that the problem was in the for loop syntax. The original line of code “for (1 .. 9) {s/\s/;/;}” didn’t work anymore. I replaced the syntax with “for (my $i = 1; $i <= 9; $i++) {s/\s/;/;}” and program started working again. To find that I lost half a day, because like I said, program worked before and I’m certain that I didn’t change anything in code. Except maybe I installed new version of Perl (Activestate) and some new Perl modules.
So, thank you all for explaining me what’s the catch in “for (1 .. 9) …” syntax.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
