Re^3: Unreferenced scalar?

Can you try substituting my @info = get_file($savename); with print $savename;?

I'm sorry but I can't duplicate your environment and so I can't do any check by myself :(

No problem... \\richnas1\newsdata\brides\0000823666-01.txt That's the output of printing the `$savename` variable.	[reply] [d/l]

A very last idea: I never used perl on Winows, but I have had some bad experiences using Word via OLE2 from Borland Delphi. I remember having had timing problems in a similar context: tell word to open a file, do things (mainly macro) , save, and close, and then if you try to open the file just saved it is locked! Never worked out exactly the cause, but it was avoided inserting a delay after closing Word and before attempting to open the saved file Try a sleep before the call to get_file...

Hmmm, that wasn't it either... I put in a sleep 60 and even verified that word had shut down.	[reply]
