in reply to Re: XBase File output
in thread XBase File output

According to the Docs "If you set some value as undefined, create will make it into some reasonable default." So I figured I was OK.

The XBase->errstr is what I posted ("Error opening file xxx.dbf: No such file or directory").

I'll try using the name w/o an extension (I've used XBase before for reading files, and I used the extension there, so I figured I should use it here, too).

    Anyway the docs talks about references to list. You have given an array for the fieldnames argument.

      You are absolutely right, it does. Thanks for pointing that out, I'd missed it (probably because there wasn't an example that used it). However, changing the code to: 
      my $new_table = XBase->create("name" => "$filename.$ext",
                                      "field_names" => \@column_names,
                                      "field_types" => undef,
                                      "field_lengths" => undef,
                                      "field_decimals" => undef);

      had no effect - I still get the same error.
