Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Perl code to retrieve text from website Post 302893287 by blackrageous on Tuesday 18th of March 2014 10:28:34 AM

It's cool to compact code; however, when you're debugging as well as requesting help, I suggest you use multiple lines to show the code.

Once you do so, you should evaluate each line to see that it actually returns someting. For example, what does $c evaluate to at each step, as well as other variables.

Try that approach.
