Hmm...Please reformat your question so that it is readable Check this Perl Monks Approved HTML tags and Writeup Formatting Tips in perl monks to help you format your question better. I'd suggest to command line argument Perl and look at a few results as well... Anyway the answer might be hidden in @ARGV The array @ARGV contains the command-line arguments intended for the script. $#ARGV is generally the number of arguments minus one, because $ARGV[0] is the first argument, not the program's command name itself Raghu	[reply]

Only the shell knows about elements on the command line beyond any re-direction, so in the command line invocation `file.pl update directoryname/error.txt directoryname/filename.txt >& d +irectoryname/filename.log` [download] , `directoryname/filename.log` is not (directly) accessible to the script. Given that your script knows its own PID (`$$`), you may be able to parse it [the full command line] from the process tree e.g. by parsing the output from `ps -fp $$`... A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l] [select]
