$MSG is a link http://www.foo.com/dpt/index.html
Is there anything else other than EOF, that can cause a while loop to exit
when reading file?
Thanks
Aman

Well, a snippet, anyway.
% the file that I am reading is an html file generated by similar code
%
% open PAGIN, "/$path/index_tmp.html";
% open PAGOUT, ">/$path/index.html";
% while(<PAGIN>) {
% $_ =~ s/##UF##/$MSG/g;
% print PAGOUT $_;
% }
Looks fine to me. The only thing that comes to mind is that your $MSG
might have some expr-matching characters which bomb somehow.
Meanwhile, I have to wonder why you're modifying $_ in the loop. I
haven't tested this (and so I know I'm gonna get burned), but why not
just
while (<PAGIN>)
{
print PAGOUT s/##UF##/$MSG/g;
}
instead?

I understand, but you still don't give us a lot with which to work :-)
