I'm changing around a guestbook script to make certain emoticons be images, but i get errors,
why doesn't this work$in{'Comment'} =~ s/\
/<img src="smile.gif">/g;

One reason may be that you need to call the full URL to the image, as you may not store images in the CGI directory.

Perl's metacharacter list for patern matching is as follows:
\ | ( ) [ { ^ $ * + ? .
You need to escape these whenever you have them in a regex.
Try:
$in{'Comment'} =~ s/:\)/<img src="smile\.gif">/g;
-- Gordon --
------------------
$blah='82:84:70:77';
print chr($_) foreach (split/:/,$blah);
