Re: passes syntax but xchat crashes

[Mike Guidero <kymermosst@penguinpowered.com>]

Your code below barely resembles perl code...

The best help I can offer is for you to purchase the following book:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperl2/

If that's not possible/practical... then you'd do yourself a serious favor by
reading the man pages that come with perl.  (man perl or perldoc perl).  Perl
is a great language and fun to code in.  But one must learn to code properly
first. :)
