ok, but i've never faced these problems. of course, all my code has variables predeclared, use strict, -w and error reporting on all calls. my code would look like this: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Carp; my $filename = "myfile.txt"; -e $filename or croak "$filename doesn't exist"; -r $filename or croak "$filename not readable by me"; open FILE, $filename or croak "Could not open $filname: $!"; my @stuff = <FILE> or carp "Nothing read from $filename"; close FILE or carp "Could not close $filename: $!"; ... _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
