Using the following code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Net::Netrc;
use Tie::File;

use vars qw($CONF);

$CONF = '/data/retprep/retlogs/retrieve.conf';
my @conf;
tie @conf, 'Tie::File', $CONF or die("Unable to tie config file $CONF:
+ $!");
print "There are ". scalar(@conf), " records in config file $CONF\n";
foreach $_ (@conf) {
    chomp;
    my ($retid, $host, $files, $freq, $proto, $depricated, $prev_fdate
+, $opts, $start_day) = split(/:/,$_,9);
    print "$host\n";
    my $mach = Net::Netrc->lookup($host) || die $!;
}

My script locks up with no error and I have to cntl-c to get back to my prompt.
My output is as follows:

There are 3 records in config file /data/retprep/retlogs/retrieve.conf
ftp.some_domain.com/pub

If I comment out the Net::Netrc lookup then the script works fine. This of course is only a very trimmed down version of my actual script for automated ftp retrieval.

Prior to this I was not using Tie::File I was just openning the file and slurping it into an array. This too worked fine.

My system is an HP-UX 11 perl v5.6.1

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be eternally grateful.

TIA
