Hi Perlmonks, I'm having a strange problem when running my programs. The code is correct and it is giving me all the right outputs. I've been using the same program on a set of around 700 files, (in sets of 100 each because my system is prone to hanging) and the program just eventually stops working. The print statements give output in the Terminal but do not create the requires files. I haven't made any changes to the code, and it has, for some reason, slowly stopped working over the course of the day. P.S. : My work computer is slow, but clean and no viruses. Code is correct with no errors. I realise this isn't a code-related matter as such but this is not happening with other programs so I was wondering if others have experienced this. I would have asked in the Chatterbox but I don't think people were available there. Thanks for your help. :)
