Re: Re: Re: 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	[reply]

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.)	[reply]
