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
