Re^3: Backup User's files

"...I don't know what you mean...more specific?"

Sure. I guessed that you at least missed a semicolon which results in an syntax error - the message points to the wrong line as usual - if you run perl -c your_program.pl.

Yes, may be. But if you add `use strict; use warnings;` as kcott suggested you should get something like this: `perl -c peli.pl Global symbol "$APPSUPPORT_PATH" requires explicit package name (did y +ou forget to declare "my $APPSUPPORT_PATH"?) at peli.pl line 7.#!/bin +/shBEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at peli.pl line 7 +.` [download] The only other change i made to your program was changing the magic line AKA shebang to `#!/usr/bin/env perl`.

If I use warnings, every line is wrong? The "$APPSUPPORT_PATH" is declared in the code to "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale" and it doesn't matter if I use "\" for whitespace or not, it works anyhow. Peter	[reply]
