Number appearing in Perl-generated JavaScript code instead of "$("

On a site I'm working on there are random numbers appearing in a very simple bit of jQuery.

Instead of what's meant to appear, these numbers — 48, etc. — appear at the beginning. Like this:

<script type="text/javascript">     48 48document).ready(function () {     48 48".closed").click(function () {                  48 48this).find("div.but").toggleClass('plus').toggleClass('minus');                         48 48this).toggleClass('closed').toggleClass('open');             });         });         </script> 

I can't even begin to imagine why it would spit this out when I hard-coded it into the site and there's no external file or anything.

OK, so since it's Perl I need to escape $(, but how? I took a look at the Perl documentation and I just felt like I'd been punched.

Do I just use single quotes instead of double quotes?

<script type="text/javascript">     $(document).ready(function () {       $('.closed').click(function () {                   $(this).find('div.but').toggleClass('plus').toggleClass('minus');         $(this).toggleClass('closed').toggleClass('open');           });   }); </script> 

Here's the full Perl script. It's the header of a site.

########################### ## META DATA AND HEADERS ## ###########################  $be_strict = 0;    # 1 = 404 on page not found if ((!$title{$loadpage} || !$h1{$loadpage} || !$description{$loadpage} || !$keywords{$loadpage} || !$breadcrumb{$loadpage}) && $be_strict) {   print "Status: 302 Found\r\n" .

What does $@ meaning in Perl?

$@ The perl syntax error message from the last eval command. If null, the last eval parsed and executed correctly (although the operations you invoked may have failed in the normal fashion). (Mnemonic: Where was the syntax error "at"?)

What is ${} used for in JavaScript?

${} is just a lot cleaner to insert variable in a string then using + : let x = 5; console. log("hello world " + x + " times"); console. log(`hello world ${x} times`); for ${} to work, the string needs to be enclosed in backticks.

What is my () in Perl?

my keyword in Perl declares the listed variable to be local to the enclosing block in which it is defined. The purpose of my is to define static scoping. This can be used to use the same variable name multiple times but with different values.

$( is a Perl predefined variable, expanding to the process's group ID list.

If you are on a machine that supports membership in multiple groups simultaneously, gives a space separated list of groups you are in. The first number is the one returned by getgid() , and the subsequent ones by getgroups() , one of which may be the same as the first number.

See the perlvar docs for details.

To avoid the problem, make sure to escape $( (and any other JavaScript $ chars) in Perl strings, or use '' instead of "" to avoid interpolation.

Bad:

$html = "$(document).ready(...)"; 

Good:

$html = "\$(document).ready(...)"; $html = '$(document).ready(...)'; 

In the code above, for example, the script section should be:

<script type="text/javascript">   \$(document).ready(function () {     \$(".closed").click(function () {        \$(this).find("div.but").toggleClass('plus').toggleClass('minus');       \$(this).toggleClass('closed').toggleClass('open');      });       }); </script>
