hi, I ran across this line in a perl file Does anyone have an idea of what its doing? It seems to be printing out if some comparisons are met is as far as I figure. Also what is with a variable name like temp_marker_$name? Aren't scalar variables supposed to start with $ and not have them in the middle? What is the purpose of the slashes in the awk command? system ("awk \'\$1 == \"$label\" && \$3 <= $apex && \$4 >= $apex\{print\}\' $reference >temp_marker_$name") ==0 or die "$0 failed to awk";
