Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Tie::File strangeness with unshift

914,
Just guessing here - try:

tie my @array, 'Tie::File', "file.txt";

instead of the 3 lines you had before.

This is probably a difference in versions of Perl builds or in Tie::File. If my suggestion works - chalk it up to dumb luck - if it doesn't - try updating your Tie::File module on the server that doesn't work.

Cheers - L~R

Actually, the server that doesn't work was using Tie:File 0.95, whereas my local machine is using 0.93 (as well as Perl 5.6.1, just like the server) I uninstalled 0.95 and reinstalled w/ 0.93 just to see, same dice. I've made the change you suggested, and unfortunately dumb luck isn't with me. See below for the results. (the file.txt file starts out with 7 identical lines, and ends as you see) `bash-2.05a$ vi tie bash-2.05a$ ./tie Use of uninitialized value in read at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Tie/File.pm + line 699, <FH> line 7.
