Around line 254 I had trouble and changed the OR statement into:
if ($roll == 2) {$opt="Cascading";}
elsif($roll == 12) {$opt="Cascading";}
I put the PERL.EXE program in a directory in the DOS path. I ran the script by
typing:
perl matrix.pl a g
at the DOS command line. The above command would generate a random matrix for
an "Average" "Green" matrix node, of course.
I do not know why you are getting the error at line 100. My copy says the same
thing verbatim. Make sure all of the lines at that point end with the DOS line
delimiter (Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) in Visual Basic terminology) and not just the
Unix delimiter (Chr$(10) only). As pointless as it sounds, you might try
retyping the line manually. If there is an invisible ASCII character stuck in
there you would not see it in a text editor.
