Thanks. Yes there are no problems with the file permissions sir. Each and every one of those files have read permission.

    there are no problems with the file permissions

    If you are getting a permission denied error I am afraid that there is a problem with permissions, however probably not an obvious one.

    Can you add the following code between the if -e and the open FH2 line and tell us the results.

    my @file_stat = stat "$users{$user}/MY_FILE"; my @dir_stat = stat "$users{$user}"; printf("%d $users{$user} -> 0%o %d %d\n", $>, $dir_sta +t[2] & 07777, $dir_stat[4], $dir_stat[5]); printf("%d $users{$user}/MY_FILE -> 0%o %d %d\n", $>, $file_st +at[2] & 07777, $file_stat[4], $file_stat[5]);

    Update: tidied up code no functionality changed.
