in thread opening new file in different directory

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.

    Look at it again: 
        open(WRITE,">$file") or die( "Cannot write to $file: $!" );

    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?"
