    $distro =~ s[-\d+\.\d+\.tar\.gz];
    Hey, that's not a complete statement!

    • Ah, but that's because you didn't finish it. You only included the opening semicolon delimiter for the replacement. The complete statement is

      $distro =~ s[-\d+\.\d+\.tar\.gz];
      print $module, " ", $distro, "\n";
      which is the same as
      $distro =~ s/-\d+\.\d+\.tar\.gz/\n    print $module, " ", $distro, "\n"/
