The file is there!! How do you know it is there? That is, how are you seeing it? My guess is that you are seeing it in the Windows Explorer. And that you have the Explorer option "Hide file extensions" enabled. And that the file is actually named 'Hello1.plx.txt'. To be sure, use the `dir` command.

Whether that's actually the case or not... this response makes me believe you've possibly worked in tech support at some point in time. Entirely off-the-wall and entirely plausible/likely all in one. --Dave	[reply]

this response makes me believe you've possibly worked in tech support at some point in time. Formally, no. But looking back it seems that I've somehow informally fallen into that role, for those around me, almost everywhere I've worked. My favorite 'tech support' story: Re: Lost in the Translation FWIW: I think that the 'secret ingredient' between a good programmer and a great one, is intuition. (That doesn't mean I think I am a great programmer, my intuition is far too sporadic.) Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

The file is there!! Except that it isn't -- if dir/perl both tell you the file isn't there, then it isn't there, no matter how sure you are. Is it because I am running windows xp on a mac book?? Is that might be a problem. The shell session I quoted was made on XP	[reply]

The file is there!! I have created a file with the name hello.plx in the folder you are saying you have saved file with name "hello.plx" and then I gave the path in the right way. like c:\BegPerl>perl hello1.plx The name of the file and the file you are trying to call from command line are probably different Hope this helps you	[reply]
