the sample input provided and the program provided produce no warnings, and produce the wanted output -- so yeah, get rid of both strict and warnings and nothing will change

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have tried running the code I posted on the data I posted, without strict and warnings, and I still received the error message and an output with only the coordinates column filled in.

      Um, please don't get rid of strict/warnings, none suggested that, frozenwithjoy was being smartalecky

      Add use autodie; to do some error checking that you forgot about

      Your program opens files in your cwd/pwd, so that is where you should be looking for files

        Ha apologies

        As I said before I am a complete novice so stuff like that is lost on me when it comes to this. I added autodie and nothing happened - no errors, no output, just perl ready for the next input
