I gave that a try with the following result:<p>
<code>
user@pt--d830:/data/finder$ perl finder.pl
Operator or semicolon missing before &__inline at (eval 117) line 1 (#1)
(S ambiguous) You used a variable or subroutine call where the parser
was expecting an operator. The parser has assumed you really meant to
use an operator, but this is highly likely to be incorrect. For
example, if you say "*foo *foo" it will be interpreted as if you said
"*foo * 'foo'".

Ambiguous use of & resolved as operator & at (eval 117) line 1 (#2)
(W ambiguous) %, &, and * are both infix operators (modulus,
bitwise and, and multiplication) and initial special characters
(denoting hashes, subroutines and typeglobs), and you said something
like *foo * foo that might be interpreted as either of them. We
assumed you meant the infix operator, but please try to make it more
clear -- in the example given, you might write *foo * foo() if you
really meant to multiply a glob by the result of calling a function.

I think this must be an internal thing.<br>

Thanks for the help...
