Hi, I am looking for some suggestions/ideas. I have following code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Spec;
use IO::File;
use autodie;

my $FH;
my @lines;
my $fn = 'D:\DATA\Software\MFLOW2\MOD_CL\INSTALL\MOD_CL\INSTALL\RDBMS\
+c$template.pks';

#my $fn = '..\todo.txt';

$fn = File::Spec->rel2abs( $fn ) ;

print "file: $fn len=" . length($fn) .  "\n";


open ($FH,'<',$fn);
@lines=<$FH>;
close($FH);

[download]
Which gives me error "No such file or directory" on file open. File definitely exists - I can reach it and open it with file manager. Some files are opened normally, most give this error. I am really out of ideas and some help will be appreciated. Environment: Windows 10 x64, PERL: Strawberry perl v. 5.24 Thanks in advance. Sincerely Maris
