in reply to generate a new toc

          ....now I get the following error. readline () on closed filehandle INP at toc.pl line 60

You need to do some error-checking on file open: 

open(INP, "$file") or die "Could not open file $file : $!\n";

      The arguments of open() are separated with commas. You mean 

      open (INP, "+>", $file) or die;

      Don't put single variables into double quotes, it is a useless interpolation (except when you use a reference of a package which overloads stringification, and know what you're doing).

      --shmem 

      _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /

        even with single quotes I get the same error, I really need to get this working, I was thinking maybe html link extor would help, I am really puzzled why my new file doesn't work, could the # signs in the urls be the problem? id:669050 is my original post.
