Hi ! I have problems using ioctl in perl on linux platform. i have written a perl script
.........test.pl.......
#!/usr/bin/perl
require 'sys/ioctl.ph'

..........

this itself on running is giving error

# ./test.pl
Scalar found where operator expected at (eval 273) line 1, near "'int'
+  $__val"
        (Missing operator before   $__val?)
#

[download]
the sys/ioctl.ph file is located in
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/ppc-linux-thread-multi on my system .
@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/ppc-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/ppc-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/ppc-linux-thread-multi ********** /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl

stars in abouve shows that sys/ioctl.ph is in proper path to be included by require command. But even then why i m getting error shown above???
Please reply soon..
Thanks..
