Re: Filehandler Trouble

I'm not sure if 'LOG' is a perl expression I'm not aware of or something, but if not, shouldn't it be:
print $LOG "$time Completed West XLS Generation\n";

Update: Ignore the jester in the corner...

Presumably it's the name of a global filehandle, as in: `open LOG, '>', $filename or die "Can't open '$filename': $!\n";`	[reply] [d/l]

I found where the trouble is please see the below code. `$workbook->close() or die "LOG->Error Closing File: $!";` [download] The code was changed to the below. `$workbook->close() or die "Error Closing File: $!";` [download] Can you please explain what is wrong with the original syntax?

The only difference between those two lines is the contents of a string. Because those differences have no interpolations, they should have no effect in a well-behaved Perl, except in the message printed on failure. Unless you wanted to change the message printed, there's no way I know of that this could possibly solve your problem. It must have been another change.	[reply]
