I am not sure I understand the question correctly, do you want to delete the file only when the execution finishes. If so add this to your code END { unlink ($your_temp_file) or "Error statement : $!\n"; } This block will only be executed when the code execution finishes. > > > Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. > > Regards > > LK > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
