re 2nd obv
@array
in scalar context is the number of elements in the array. $#array is the index of the last element. ie
$#array = @array -1;
My only observation here is that:
for ($i=0; $i <@filenames; $i++)
is a little 'cleaner'.
re 3rd obv
Doesn't have to, as it's the last statement in a coding block. But, it *is* a good habit to get into.
re uncallous comment
"try debugging your code" - perhaps you could spend an extra minute or two checking
your answer before ranting :)
cLive ;-)
PS - blame any lette ommissions on my dodgy keyboad which will get eplaced soon...
Update:
PPS - try removing first print statement (why is it there?). I suggest you move the second to just above your output line (print <<EndHTML;). Other notes...
# For tidyness, change:
\*\*\*\*
# in your regexp, to:
\*{4}
# for sanity control, change
open(PAGES, "<pages.txt");
# to
open(PAGES, "<pages.txt") || die $!;
# (and do the same for you other filehandle opens)
# and I'm pretty sure that
print FILE QQ($temlate[0] ...
# should be
print FILE qq($temlate[0] ...
And, to finish, I strongly suggest you use
CGI.pm

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).
