in reply to misbehaving program

First of all you should use use strict; and use warnings, then look at BioPerl. There are modules to read pdb-files!

good slides: http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~karypis/Classes/CS5481/Misc/Intro_bioperl.ppt

to delete files you should use unlink (perldoc -f unlink) and you should close filehandles explicit.

    Hi there
    Thanks for the help so far. I am aware of bioperl, but wouldn't touch it with a barge pole quite honestly.
    I'll see how I get on as regards to the other suggestions though.
