The '\' in your filename string has a special meaning to Perl. Either double it (\\) or reverse it (/). -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

I don't want to discourage you in anyway, but you should really try to use a descriptive name as your node title. Your node title, especially in all caps, makes you sound like a whiny kid. It also is better for searching nodes, when the title is meaningful. In the newsgroups and emaillists, many people just automatically delete posts named like that.
