Hello Monks! Been a long time, but I am in need of some expert knowledge. I have literally fought with this issue all day and it's driving me nuts. Every time I run the script I am getting "Could not open Server IN2 (/tmp/CommonLog.10.10.10.10): No such file or directory". Yet, I can run ls, head, more, cat, etc against /tmp/CommonLog.10.10.10.10 all day long with no issues. Why would Perl think the file doesn't exist when it plainly does.
foreach my $server (@servers) { open IN2, "<", $provinfile.$server or die "Could not open Serv +er IN2 ($provinfile.$server): $!\n"; open OUT2, ">", $provoutfile or die "Could not open OUT2: $!\n +"; while (<IN2>) { if (/\<13\>/../END OF REPORT/) { #next if /PROXY500/ || /END OF REPORT/; print OUT; } } } close(OUT2); close(IN2);
If you see anything wrong or have any thoughts on where I can go from here (went about 40 different ways today and all dead ends), I would appreciate any assistance.
