Brethern,

As you grow to know me, you'll come to know that most of the issues I have are typoes or stupid newbie tricks, but I can't see this one. yet.

Why is the following code tripping the or condition if it it successfully moving the file? I've printed out the string and the variables are expanding coreectly, cutting an pasting the output to the command line works without an error... I'm stumped. 

  system("mv $filename $localpath/archives/") or Die ("data load","YTS
+MSC","High","Could not move file: $filename for successful exi
t: $@");

"Die", BTW is from a package I've created that writes to a log file and DB table before exiting.

Never moon a werewolf!
