Re^4: How do I change directory to root directory

But my directory that I'm in does not have Home underneath it, it has nothing underneath it. That's my problem I'm trying to access a directory but am unable to do cd to go back to the root directory and then open the file.

If you do this `my $file = "/full/path/to/file.txt"; open(FILE, "<", $file) or die "Whoops: $!"; do stuff close(FILE);` [download] and /full/path/to/file.txt exists, you have r to the file and x to each directory in the path than it will work. If it does not work then there is a permissions issue most likely. (or the file doesn't exist) either way the die will tell you what failed.	[reply] [d/l]
