Simple, but returns 1?
Can anyone see why this would return 1?

Code:
sub test {

# we can test if the template is working ok here..



$show = "This is where the content would go...";

open(TEMPLATE, "shoptemplate.htm") || &error("Unable to open template file! Reason: $!");

while (<TEMPLATE>) {



$_ = s/CONTENT/$show/g;

print $_;



} # end the while

I know for a fact that shoptemplate.htm DOES contain some HTML, but it just doesn't want to show it Unsure

Cheers for any ideas....I just can't see why its not working :-|

Try
Code:
while (<TEMPLATE>) {
s/CONTENT/$show/g;
print;
}

Thanks....it works great. Any reason why $_ was holding 1 though, and simply not defining the variable made it work?

Cheers Smile

You used '=' instead of '=~'

Sigh, I see you still aren't using strict coding.
