While drifting around the Monastery I read some mention of the Config module. Since I had not looked at it before I decided to check it out. To cut to the chase I found a sample program in the module and decided to run it. I copied it to gedit, saved it and ran it as follows: perl -c configure.pl (My name for the program, of course.) I got the following response: Unrecognized character \xE2 at configure.pl line 12.Of course I looked at the program again and saw no srange characters. I have left out the shebang line and a comment line at the top of the program. Here is the program:
Sorry, this software program seems unable to print single quotes and pipes properly. My question then, is how do I locate this mysterious character? I realize that I could probably just delete the line and re-type it, but I would rather fix the problem. Besides, next time it might be something serious. Thanks, xenchu Update: Thanks pg, let me give that a try...whoa! that compiles! That's great! How did you find out what the strange characters were? I am using 5.8.0 btw. Update2:Thanks, ysth. Another valuable lesson learned. In reply to Hex Error Code by xenchu
