Greetings!

Maybe it is not fully right place to post _this_ question, but, since it is still very related to Perl...

Thanks for the generous help of the monks, I have finally finished my Perl program (a number of scripts), and began testing it remotely. Now, on remote access, I have found a strange bug, that a file, that should be opened by a script to writing

open (IDFILE,"+>$idfile") || die "2. Unable to open $idfile $!\n";

in fact is not opening, despite the command does not produce an error message, and an attempt to print into the file brings to halt of the script execution. The file is in read/write/execute permission mode on IIS server on Windows XP. Is there any way to overcome this (in any case, due to the requirements, I should be able to write into several files)?

Thanks in advance,
Dovkont.
