When the file has a line with just single open paranthesis, then you will get regex error ?! What is the big deal in this ?
It would exit the program at this point.

Thank you all for your help.

This is why I'm here. I was able to figure out the problem after I thought about what was happening for awhile and researched how the grep() function operated. And remembered about Quotemetas.

I am completely new to perl programming. My father is helping me learn said programming language. However, I am stuck on one of the assignments he has given me, and I can't find very much help with it via google, either because I have a tiny attention span, or because I can be very very dense.
