Hello oh powerful Monks I need your help, I keep getting an error on my backup script but everything looks perfect.
I am launching a test by typing: perl -c backup.pl
The error message is:
syntax error at backup.pl line 44, near "$status=~/.+ = "(.+)".*$"
(Might be a runaway multi-line $$ string starting on line 43)
backup.pl had compilation errors.
I am using a script found here: http://www.fengnet.com/book/Cisco.IOS.Cookbook.2nd/I_0596527225_CHP_1_SECT_19.html#I9617__ExampleLabel__Example_1_4
Is it a typo from this script or should i attempt retyping entire script by hand in case there is a parse somewhere else?
Here is the code from the page
