`warn` takes a string as argument, so just add the coordinates you want. Just let the string end with a newline "\n" to avoid other numbers to be added automatically. `warn "Warning at FILE.pl line 42, <> line 666.\n";` [download] et voila! `Warning at FILE.pl line 42, <> line 666.` [download] besides: The example code you gave is nonsense, because foreach slurps the whole file, line-numbers are lost. Better use `while` ! Otherwise please post code demonstrating your problem and the expected output. update If you want the first FILE and NUMBER to be the correct current ones, put your warn into a sub and use `caller` to get them, before constructing your string. Alternatively use `Carp` to report from the callers context. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :)} PS: Je suis Charlie!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
