[Israel.pm] perl regex operator question

[Yossi Itzkovich]

Hi

We have a code that didn't work, it is something like:
While (! $line =~/something/)
{ ... }

It didn't work (I mean it never entered the code block).  We couldn't find the problem, so just as trying woodo we changed it into:

While ( $line !~/something/)
{ ... }

And now it works.  Then we change the original code into :
While (! ($line =~/something/))
{ ... }

And it works again.  What was the problem with the first version ?

Yossi
