That's a bit vague at best. Could you post the offending line with a bit
of context (the few lines before and after).

Are you sure the error is reported on the commented out line, and not in
the one before or after?

Hi,

Please check the following lines with the compilation errors:
#print "/\n"; #line 93
where $cslength=3D'3'; in the previous line.#line 92
#print "\n"; #line 94

Compilation errors:
$perl myperl.pl
String found where operator expected at line 94 , near "#printf""
(Might be a rinaway multi-line "" string starting on line 93
(Missing semicolon on previous line?)
String found where operator expected at line near "/"tdhl/"
colspan=3D/""
(Missing operator before "colspan=3D/"?)

Thank you for your interest in my query.

Thanks & regards,

That's likely to be a missing quote somewhere before line 93 - so the
line starting with #printf will be interpreted as inside the quote string,
the quote after the printf would be interpreted as closing quote, and
therefore give a syntax error.

You could search backwards for a double quote character starting from
line 93 - that will probably find the real error.
