Hello Monks, I guess I am blind and/or stupid. Why is my FH not being printed to in the below snipet of code? Does anyone see something obvious? Thanks in Advance. Danny 
 #! /usr/bin/perl
#

$myfile="whatever.log";
open(REPORT,">$myfile") || die "Couldn't open $myfile: $!\n";

while(1){
    
$roll = int(rand 6) + 1;
$now_string = localtime;

if($roll =~ /[1]/){
        print REPORT "$now_string: Table XYZ has an invalid archive se
+tting.\n";
    }
if($roll =~ /[2]/){
        print REPORT "$now_string: Invalid Login is being attempted, p
+lease investigate.\n";
    }
if($roll =~ /[3]/){
        print REPORT "$now_string: Someone has just issued a incorrect
+ command.\n";
    }
if($roll =~ /[4]/){
        print REPORT "$now_string: Why does this system not like me?\n
+";
    }
if($roll =~ /[5]/){
        print REPORT "$now_string: Where in the world is Carmen San Di
+ego?\n";
    }
if($roll =~ /[6]/){
        print REPORT "$now_string: Wayne and Thomas are my friends!\n"
+;
    }
sleep(30);
}
