Still didn't work same error...

simplest way of explaining it is the .dpt files contain a list of reference numbers which I want to read into an array and throw each individual ref number at the script ./indref.sh

But there are a few of these .dpt files, so I am trying to write a perl script that will look for a matching ref number out of all of the .dpt files which are all held in different directories.

Once the script has found a .dpt file with that ref number it reads the whole file into an array(as each line in the file only contacts the ref num) then passes each element (line) in the array(file) as command line arguements to the ./indref.sh script.

I hope this helps you get an idea of whats going on
