in reply to Re^2: I am really stuck here....PLEASE HELP.
in thread Invalid File Handle???

    I have tried $x = $x instead of $x =||....Nothing happened.

right -- cause they're effectively the same, except one is more confusing to see

   I have dumped ctime, atime, mtime,...did not show anything different (i.e it crashes in exat area where the script does)!!!

what is the exact (read: copy past for us please) output if you add this:
use Data::Dumper; print Dumper $sb; print Dumper $ct; print Dumper $mt; print Dumper $at;

   Will I still get help from the OPEN SOURCE community on PerlMOnks???????????

Yes, but in order to help us help you, please carefully review the node How (Not) To Ask A Question (especially this part)
