in thread Returns from using system function

To figure out what the error numbers are, find and read errno.h on your box. It's in /usr/include/asm/ for me. The Errno module may or may not help you.

    Ok, Thank you for the guidance. Sorry about the basic questions but I am quite new to perl, so... I checked it out and apparantly the errno is EPERM, which unfortunately means absolutely nothing to me. Any more help out there?
    Thank you kindly! Kalimeister
      The manpage for errno on my box listed several of the more common constants, with brief explanations. A good OS-level C tutorial may go into more detail. I'd check Google. (EPERM means "operation not permitted", though.)
