The reason is, I think, that perls thinks of "$0" as a variable name, and replaces the string "$0" by the value of $0 How to reproduce it: 1) Open printerdrake 2) Add new CUPS printer 3) Connection type: "remote lpd server" 4) Choose "aaa$01bbb" as the Remote printer name 5) End the configuration. The printer name will still look correct (aaa$01bbb) 6) Now exit printerdrake and launch it again, the printer name will look "aaash1bbb" Of course, nobody would use the $ character to name a printer in Unix, but apparently they do in VMS (at least in my workplace :-) Many thanks for the hard work, please let me know if I can help -- Leo
