Thank you all for your help!

It turned out to be a "permissions" issue. I added code to "manually" unlink the old file and rename the new, and $! gave the response "Permission denied".

It's funny, though, that the module set permissions that allowed me to create the ini, but not to delete/rename it!

For some reason, I didn't get the errors from the module in my error handling code below. I'm not sure if it's the module or my code, but I <think> my code's o.k.

Again, my thanks!

sub errMsg1() {
      printf   "@_\n";
    &msgLog ("@_\n");
      &stdErr ("@_\n");
      printf @Config::IniFiles::errors;
    for my $line (@Config::IniFiles::errors) {
        &stdErr ("\t$line\n");
        printf "$line\n"};
};
