    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.

        It's the missing comma, not the quotes... — look more closely what shmem wrote.

        (The quotes thing was about "$file" vs. $file, and that the double quotes are useless there, usually.)
