I am using ActivePerl on a windows 2000 machine. My script reads all the files in a directory, does some reformating and plops them all into one big file in another directory. My script wrks if I have the .pl in the same dirctory as the files and use the ".". But, If i use a path to the directory it does not work. Any thoughts. thanks for any info, Bernie 
#!/usr/bin/perl

#Parses web log and reformats




opendir(DIR, 'c:\perl\test');  ##If . is used and .pl is in the same d
+ir as files it works!
@files = readdir(DIR);
close(DIR);
        foreach $file (@files)
    {
        $name = $file;
        @filename = split (/\./, $name);
#               open (MYFILE, ">myfile.txt");
                open( THEFILE,$file ) ;
        @theList = <THEFILE>;   
        close( THEFILE );
        
                foreach( @theList )
                    {
                    s/\/uid=/,/;
                    s/LDAP:\/\///;
                    s/ou=//g;
                    s/o=//;
                    @theLine = split( /\s*,\s*/ );
                                        print "\"$theLine[0]\",\"$theL
+ine[1]\",$theLine[2]\",\"$theLine[3]\",\"$theLine[4]\",\"$theLine[5]\
+",\"$theLine[6],\"$filename[0]\",\"$filename[1]\",$theLine[7]  \n";
                    }
    }    

exit( 0 );
