Perhaps I'm just being stupid... 
use strict;
use Tie::File;
use Date::Manip;
use Fcntl;

tie my @log, 'Tie::File', 'logfile', mode => O_RDONLY or die "Unable t
+o open file";

for (@log)
{
    my $t = "$_";
    if ($t =~ /time: (.* 2008)/)
    {
        my $xxx = ParseDate($1);
    }
}
untie @log;

When I run it I get
Couldn't write record: Bad file descriptor at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/Tie/File.pm line 907, <$fh> line 44063.

I think this only happens when something tries to write to a Tied file when it can't be written to.

And it's the my $xxx... line that causes it. How is that possible?

Thanks for any pointers!
