Hello Nikolaus Brand, You can try these: 1. ) Instead of "die" in your code use "warn", then return from the subroutine, 2.) Intstead of hard coding the path and file in your program i.e ["$basedir/$userdir/$outfile" ], ask the user to input the path and file, assign the input to a scalar and check if it exists/correct or not. If the path is correct, then proceed into your subrotine and if not, you ask the user to check their input and try again! I think that will be a better way to go! thanks
