What's wrong with the statements is exactly what the warnings are telling you! Value of <HANDLE> construct can be "0"; test with defined() at qlib.pm line 25. If the last line of a file is the single character 0 (not followed by a newline), then a boolean test will incorrectly suggest that no data was read from HANDLE. Thus, you should test with defined() instead. You get these warnings even when that block of code is not executed because these are syntax warnings that are generated at compile time. You probably want something like: defined($var = <HANDLE>) or last; Ronald
