Do you mean it can remove a file by "unlink" but can't remove the same file by "rm -f"? There're some items I can think: 1) privilege problems 2) "rm" 's path problems 3) Is "rm" an alias? (see 'alias' command's output). -- http://home.arcor.de/jeffpang/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
