Greetings Monks,
I have a perl script to generate formatted reports out of a text file.
I am using file i/o and regexpressions to do it.
I used PerlCC to convert the perl script into a perl executable
. But when i try to run the exe , it fails by giving out the following error
"Modification of a read-only value attempted at Monthly_Reports.pl line 5. *main::PerlIO::" The line 5 in the perl script is 
line 5: my $filename = <STDIN>;
line 6: open (FH,$filename);
line 7: my @Lines = <FH>;
line 8: close FH;

[download]
I am just taking the filename and reading from the file.
Please correct me if iam doing something wrong. I have Perl 5.8.4 on Windows machine.
Ne pointers are greatly appreciated
