Same error as before, `No such file or directory`. I left out the verbosity because (A) I haven't decided how to do it yet, so not sure what I have to put in my error string (B) $! points me to the line, which is all I need to know for now... and I know it well anyway, alas (C) I didn't want too much wrapping and (D) I guessed that nobody wd be copying my code since it's effectively labelled as broken. Still, I know this is one of those points on which the monastery is rightly `strict`.... /me goes into the dungeon for a moment's mortification. § George Sherston	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Not to be an ass, but how would this help us? It seems the germane info is in `$!` not the script name and line number. I'm really asking and not trying to fish slap you. Ira, "So... What do all these little arrows mean?" ~unknown	[reply] [d/l]

Look at it again: `open(WRITE,">$file") or die( "Cannot write to $file: $!" );` [download] You are missing the point of his request. He wants to see what `$file` is, in addition to the `$!` variable. Why? Because the error "No such file or directory" begs the question "What file is the program trying to create, and in what directory?" buckaduck	[reply] [d/l] [select]
