Unmatched right bracket error
Hello. I was installing a few mods, and one of them seems to have caused an error in the nph-build.cgi file. In the error logs, I noticed:

Unmatched right bracket at nph-build.cgi line 725, at end of line
syntax error at nph-build.cgi line 725, near "}"
Execution of nph-build.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.

The line is:
print "\tLinks: " . (($#{$links{$cat}}+1) / ($#db_cols+1)) . "\n";

Before that line is:
print "\tSubcategories: " . ($#{$subcategories{$cat}} + 1) . "\n";

Could you post the whole nph-build script as an attachment?

Those errors can fool you sometimes - the error might be a lot further up but perl won't spot it until it realises a bracket is missing - we'll need to see more of the code.

Or restore your original code and add the mod little by little.

What I have done, a bit tedious but effective, is print the code, then go through each sub that I changed, and match up opening and closing brackets using different color highlighters. No doubt there is an easier way...

I have a Perl/PHP editor called PHPEd, which lets you press F2 to find the opening/closing brackets for something. Very nice when trying to find missing/extra brackets etc Smile If you post it here, I'm sure one of us will be able to find the problem ;)

EditPlus tabs your brackets automatically so you can just look to see which aren't aligned, then you know you are missing one :)
