why does this snippet of perl not work? (note: it is at line # 68 in my tpl file.)

<iw_perl>
my $tableclass=iwpt_dcr_value "shortDescription.shortIntroduction");
$tableclass =~ s/tr><td>/tr><td width=\"20%\">/;
</iw_perl>

i am trying to replace the first occurance of each table data cell in a row with a width specification. perl seems to be objecting to the < & > signs. Even if i try "escaping" them, i still get the error.

i keep receiving this error:

Template Preview And Generate Error:

One quick thing. Is the opening paranthesis missing in your actual script too or is it just an error in posting here...
my $tableclass=iwpt_dcr_value( "shortDescription.shortIntroduction");

And what is shortDescription. Are you missing the dcr. before that or is it a variable you have set for list.

Hope this helps!
