I found out where the problem is. I'm combining the symbol with a date generated. The file is supposed to be a stock symbol chart I have stored on my local drive. So I'm using the following code to see if it exists or not: `my $extx = ".jpg"; my $fx = "2006-01-05"; if( -f "D:/stock_charts/$symbol$fx$extx" ) { $filename = $fx; $com_hash{'num'} = "$filename"; last; } #so the filename should look like "AIDO.OB2006-01-05.jpg"` [download] I think it has something to do with the proper tainting also. I'm going to try turning taint mode off to see if it stops it from timing out. Thanks	[reply] [d/l]

my $extx = ".jpg";
my $fx = "2006-01-05";
if( -f "D:/stock_charts/$symbol$fx$extx" ) {
    $filename = $fx;
    $com_hash{'num'} = "$filename";
    last;
              }
#so the filename should look like "AIDO.OB2006-01-05.jpg"
