updateAmbrus read more carefully than I. new text and strikes are updates

Madmonster:

Please keep followups (such as this is, mimimally) in the original thread rather than starting a new one, Reposting an essentially verbatim question to a new node is NOTNOT regarded as honorable conduct in the monastery, particularly when the monks have already replied to your original ( password file problem, posted 3 days earlier than this one); offering answers most of which you do NOT appear to have studied and explaining WHY some of what you've posted WON'T WORK.

Failing to use <code> tags around your sample of what "output needs to be..." and your error messages is conterproductive, as omitting them lessens the readability of your post.

Please consult: How do I post a question effectively? AND (if you need more on formatting) Writeup Formatting Tips. Note that <code> tags are allowed around content that is NOT code, when their use makes your post more legible.

... and you may want to review the use of "-lne" (ps: that's one that's already been answered in a reply to your original post), and start using warnings and strict, qv.

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
