Can you enclose your code in code tags (`<code> ... </code>`) please. There's more than two problems, I'm afraid. There's no semicolon at the end of close. `if ($child => 0)` doesn't make sense. Did you mean `>=`? `kill => $child;` doesn't make sense either. Did you mean `kill $child`? You're missing a closing brace from your BEGIN block.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You're still missing a semicolon... `if ( my $child >= 0 ) { kill $child; } else { close LOGFILE; undef $CONN; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

From your supplied code fragment, I think the unexpected end of file is because there is no EOL to tell the program to stop printing before it reaches the end of the file. Here-docs are discussed way down (search for <<EOF) in the perlop perldoc page here. How can you feel when you're made of steel? I am made of steel. I am the Robot Tourist.
