Re^6: Opening multiple log files

I see. Pardon me, I assumed anything with a :: was a module.I still do not know how to integrate it though. What I meant for the file name was I used a variable in my second part but I'm not sure how the "next unless -f and /\.log$/" has a variable that I can use for my code in the second part.

My responses so far have assumed you wrote the original code. Your subsequent replies seem to suggest this is not the case. There is a lot of very basic code that you do not appear to understand. That's all fine. Before I saw any Perl code (20+ years ago), I didn't know any of this either. However, you do need a basic foundation before anything more advanced is likely to make much sense. I strongly recommend you read "perlintro -- a brief introduction and overview of Perl". This will explain much of the beginner concepts; and it provides links to more detailed information for topics introduced. It's not a particularly long document and I suggest you read it in full: it should bring some clarity to the advice you've been given (by myself and others) in this thread. -- Ken	[reply]
