What is this line supposed to do?

The message I read (pre-plonk) went like so:

$html =
get("http://www.yerkir.am/eng/index.php?sub=news_arm&id=11918");

Perhaps the = got stripped by your newsreader somehow? *shrug*

That is not what the line looked like in Asoup's original. In fact, it
was two lines, the first pne ending in '='. I think that your newsreader
is incorrectly removing something it thinks is quoted-printable encoding
or so. If I were you, I would fix the newsreader or get another one.

I am quite happy with XNews, thank you. Looking at the original on Google
shows some funkiness however:

Copied and pasted from the page above:

$output_file =3D "/public_html/rss.txt";

$html =3D
get("http://www.yerkir.am/eng/index.php?sub=3Dnews_arm&id=3D11918");

$formatter =3D HTML::FormatText->new;

$tree_builder =3D HTML::TreeBuilder->new;

I am retracting my comment. I am glad the OP's post showed up properly on
your software.

The original message *was* sent quoted-printable encoded, so Sinan's
newsreader rather failed to decode it properly.

I am no expert on this, but it seems like XNews is getting confused by Rule
#5 at http://rfc.net/rfc1521.html#p19. Oh well, I like everything else
about it. I'll be more careful next time.
