PoD Help

I have a Pod .pl file and i get this error in the zone.exe :

WARNING: error compiling quest file quests/nexus/281174.pl: Perl runtime error: syntax error at (eval 28) line 11, near ""Greetings, $name. If you wish to follow the ways of discord, simple tell me you wish to be what we call [pvpon]. To follow the ways of Order and remove yor "PvP"
(reverting to default questfile)


I'm using

# Quest Has Been Created For Bobby's World Server created by -]Bobby]-
# NPC Name :
# ID & Zone : Nexus
# Principal Quest : Greeter
# Secondary Quest : None

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/Hail/i)
{
quest::say("Greetings, $name. If you wish to follow the ways of discord, simply tell me you wish to be what we call [pvpon]. To follow the ways of Order and remove your "PvP" tag, simply chant the words, [pvpoff].");
}
if($text=~/pvpon/i)
{
quest::say("Good Choice. Destory the shackles of order, $name!!!");
quest::pvp("on");
}
if($text=~/pvpoff/i)
{
quest::say("While you will regret putting yourself back under Order, I cannot refuse your request.");
quest::pvp("off");
}
}

Actually the quest is identical to the one I wrote up on another thread, dont lie

Yeah, Eshmangul has it. remove the quotes and it should work fine.

I quote myself:

Here you go.

sub EVENT_SAY 
{ 
if($text=~/Hail/i){quest::say("Greetings, $name. If you wish to follow the ways of discord, simply tell me you wish to be what we call [pvpon]. To follow the ways of Order and remove your "PvP" tag, simply chant the words, [pvpoff].");} 
if($text=~/pvpon/i){quest::say("Good Choice. Destory the shackles of order, $name!!!");quest::pvp("on");} 
if($text=~/pvpoff/i){quest::say("While you will regret putting yourself back under Order, I cannot refuse your request.");quest::pvp("off");} 
}

Also, this is in a sticky although I redid it to your exact requests, so, next time look around a little =)

Instead of using Quotes, you should use the apostrophe sign (') . If you really want to use double quotes, use 2 apostrophes. Sorted!

Dark - you're lying. :P

You should be able to put in \" in order to be able to keep the quotations. I'm pretty sure that works in perl.
