Hi, I am working with a script which was developed 3 years ago with Perl. It works perfectly on a server with RedHat Linux AS 2.1 and PERL 5.6. Ive been trying without luck to run the scripts on a server with AS 4. Could you please advise me whether the script makes sense with PERL 5.8 and/or any re-working would be necessary. 
subfile('iocommon');


sub subfile {my($f)=@_;my($w);if(!$GOT_HA{$f}){$f=($my_base_loc.$subsl
+ocation.$ds.$f.'.sub');
$t=open (IE,"$f"); $rep=($t)?'OK':$!;db("subfile $f",$rep);@tt=<IE>;cl
+ose(IE);
while(@tt){$l=trim(shift @tt);$w.=$l."\n";}  eval($w);$GOT_HA{$f}=1;}}

the sub db is the error handler. The iocommon file is a file of subroutines and is named as iocommon.sub Thanks for your help. Anir
