Re^2: running perl script makes my external HDD read-only

You are exactly right:

Aug 26 14:44:50 typically-desktop kernel: [  176.616936] FAT: Filesyst
+em panic (dev sdb1)
Aug 26 14:44:50 typically-desktop kernel: [  176.616944]     fat_get_c
+luster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0)
Aug 26 14:44:50 typically-desktop kernel: [  176.616951]     File syst
+em has been set read-only
[download]

Solved it with a simple fsck command

Thanks for your (non-Perl) expertise! I shall most probably return with real perl questions :)
