Re: [mv] PERL: Interpolate question

[Handytman@aol.com]

Racke,
How right you are. Thanks for setting me straight. I didn't quote a value 
(knowing that it would be numeric) but then when the field was empty, the 
Perl program spat out
$num = [item-field num];

This works better:
$num = qq([item-field num]);

Thanks,
Rob Maurer
