Hi, I'm hitting a strange problem running simple perlscript on my new laptop.
To illustrate:- #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; open my $configuration, 'H:\temp.txt' or die "my error: $!" ; my @info = <$configuration> ; chomp (@info); foreach my $i (@info) { print "$i\n " ; } ## End When I run in either Primalscript or Hippoedit the output pane emits the 1st character of the 1st line in the "H:\temp.txt" file, preceded by a colon. I realise this is the case because if I change the 1st line character to whatever, the re-run the code that's the character I get. It doesn't matter where the file is located. I have admin rights on the machine etc W7 x64 with Activeperl 5.12.2 Thanks, Stuart -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
