Dear Monks, This program reads line by line and grabs the path out of the line example : H:\abc\1234\12334.090 This is a map drive from a server. If I run this program and make it grab files out of the local drive. it works fine. However if I run this program and make it grab files out of a network drive. it desn't work. it gives me an error "undefined variable in line 25" here is a sample of the file: 
028749|0011960|999-99-9999|GREER|SHELDON|5/23/2003|abcd|ABDEL-WAHAB, M
+AY|ABDEL-WAHAB, MAY|abcde/PHYSICIAN/WEEKLY PROGRESS NOTE|A2901006|6/5
+/2003|H:\APPS\abcde\DB\ESCRIBE\13\00004FE5.008

Do you have any ideas why it gives me an error when trying to run against a network drive versus a local drive? I have seen this problem before but I cannot find the article... Someone report it this problem on this web site... Here is my code: 
#! perl -w

use strict;
use File::Copy;

my $infile = "C:/RADTRANS/doclist.chr";

my ( $yr, $mo, $dy ) = (localtime)[5,4,3];
my $outfile = sprintf( "C:/RADTRANS/%04d%02d%02d.txt",$yr+1900,$mo+1,$
+dy );

my $staticdir = "C:\\RADTRANS\\";

open IN, "<$infile" or die "Couldn't open $infile, $!";
open OUT,">$outfile" or die "Couldn't open $outfile, $!";

while (<IN>) {
    chomp;
    my @fields = split /|/;

    my $newfile = $fields[0];
    my $path_str = $fields[12];

    do { warn "Empty field 13"; next } unless $path_str;

    my @path = split /\\/, $path_str;

    print "$dir\n";

    my $dir = join "\\", @path[0,1,2,3,4,5,6];

    $newfile =~ s/$/.rtf/;

    my $out = join ('|', @fields[0..9]) . "@" . $staticdir . $newfile;

    print OUT "$out\n";     

    process_dir($dir,$newfile);

}
close IN;

sub process_dir {

    my ($dir, $newfile) = @_;

    do { warn "$dir does not exist!\n"; return } unless -e $dir;
    opendir DIR, $dir or do { warn "Could not open $dir $!\n" ; return
};
    while ( my $file = readdir DIR ) {

        print "dir: $dir file:$file newfile:$newfile\n";
        #before the next unless statements.

        next unless -f "$dir\\$file";

        next unless $file =~ m/\.rtf$/i;
 
        copy( "$dir\\$file", "C:\\RADTRANS\\$newfile" )
          or die "Failed to copy $file: $!\n";



    }
}
