You're printing to a filehandle you've opened for reading. You want
open(NEWFILE,"</tmp/$filename"); while(<NEWFILE>) { print $_; } close(NEWFILE);

`open(NEWFILE,"</tmp/$filename"); print <NEWFILE>; close(NEWFILE);` [download] You're printing to a filehandle you've opened for reading. Look again. The code is reading from NEWFILE and writing to STDOUT. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply] [d/l]
