OK, I can see that. I really don't have much more information to add. I pulled my hair out for days trying to get the opendir readdir combination to work. While searching, I came across another post that pointed at the specific kernal I am using. I believe it was the way perl behaved with it. This is the kernal image I have currently in my box /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.7.x I cannot say 100% that I have not rebuilt that box but I think it's still the same. For clarity, I have no experience in kernal programming and was only repeating what I saw in a post and worked for me. Mike
