I'd start by adding: use warnings; use strict;
at the top just above "use Tie::File;" That way you'll find out about any syntax errors or warnings. Not that I can see any. I'd then try a simple open(my $fh, "+<", "000000-copy.htm") or die "cannot open 000000-copy.htm: $!"; If that works then you should start looking at Tie::File for your problem, otherwise investigate the reported problem. Windows permissions can be tricky; check the "effective permissions" for your user to make sure there's not something overriding the Everyone permissions you mention (I've seen that happen sometimes when there's been problems with the underlying directory permissions). Another thing which might help with Windows is trying an absolute path to avoid any path related problems. Hope that helps.
