Its shared host, where NOT possible run command this way. So test it on that machine you are sitting in front of. You'll get pretty tired of uploading, testing, uploading, testing pretty soon anyway. Install Perl if you don't have it already, and deal with at least all the syntax errors before uploading. If you aren't familiar with Perl, then start by working with short contained scripts on a local machine, where you can see output and errors and learn to debug.	[reply]

Your code is `line 8 - open (DATA, $file); line 9 - $num = ; line 10 - close (DATA);` [download] Line 9 has a syntax error. The variable `$num` is not being assigned anything. The semicolon ('`;`') tells Perl where the end of the statement is. Hence saying `$num =` doesn't mean anything to the compiler, because nothing is being assigned.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
