Re: Re: beginner

Thanks jryan, It seems that the first line "/usr/bin/perl" is not working I need a direct path to the perl.exe (this is not on the server yet). What do you suggest??? The perl.exe file is in d:\perl\bin directory. What is the appropriate way to approach this. Regards, Nick

On windows machines, `#!perl` is almost always the correct path to put at the top of your scripts. If you are on a linux box, type: `whereis perl`. That will tell you the correct path to perl.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Post your code! Don't be shy! (Maybe it's something obvious someone will spot at once - e.g. if the first line actually is `/usr/bin/perl` that's maybe the problem as it wd usually be something like `#!/usr/bin/perl`) § George Sherston	[reply] [d/l] [select]
