Re: Problem with do statement

You need a semicolon after the end of the do block to finish the statement.

I'm curious why you want to do that. The standard open my $fh, '<', $file or die 'Error xxx'; would have the same effect, but could run unattended.

To throw a random guess, I would say he might be running the program by double-clicking on an icon from something like Windows Explorer. It opens the script in a terminal window, and executes, but then closes as soon as the program finishes. If there was an error message displayed, it would disappear nearly instantly.	[reply]
