Hi,
What it's doing is opening the file for reading, and if the file doesn't
exist it creates it. I uploaded it to my domain and it worked fine there,
so it's something wrong locally.
Here's the code just so you can see what I had:
Open(GAMELOG, "$file");
@entries = <GAMELOG>;
close(GAMELOG);
Thanks for your help.
