Re^5: File::stats issue

In this case, it's because the stat or lstat call failed. Check the return value:

my $src_stat = stat($srcname) or die "Can't stat $srcname: $!";
my $dst_stat = lstat($dstfile) or die "Can't lstat $dstfile: $!";
my $planesH_stat = stat('/trib/oper/scripts/planesH.s.P370') or die "C
+an't stat /trib/oper/scripts/planesH.s.P370: $!";

Then re-run, and see what it dies of. Hopefully $! gives you enough info to keep going from here.
