Stupid figging Perl. I have wasted way too much time today playing around with it. And I am so, SO close with it too! Grrr... My problem is that I have to "untaint" an input from a user before I do something with it. Makes sense. So, all I have to do a run a regular expression on it. Again, makes sense to me. And do you think that I can do that okay? No. I think that I am running it correctly, but I can't get the answer back. I have a cgi/Perl book, and they say: Note that because the result of the regular expression is a list, you must include the parentheses around $filename to evaluate it in a list context.. I am doing it. And I am getting the error that they said that I would get if I didn't include the stupid brackets! Ahhh!!

*sigh* I think that I should just stop and study for my exam tomorrow. I think that it would be a good idea... but it ticks me off because I am SO close!!! :-(
