This line screws you up. Change the || to 'or'. @files = bsd_glob(...) or die "Yikes: $!"; The reason being: || binds very tightly, and 'or' binds less tightly. With ||, your code is like @files = (func() || die); whereas with 'or', your code is like (@files = func()) || die; And || enforces scalar context, so func() won't (can't) return a list, in your case. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
