Re^4: problem with string substitution output

I know about chomp and I'm pretty sure that's not the problem, since I already tried that ;)
It also wouldn't explain why writing it with parentheses does work. But thanks anyway! Matje

So where does your newline in the file name come from? Use Data::Dumper to investigate. If the three-argument form of open (`open my $handle, $mode, $filename;`) bails out it's not open's fault - you provided the wrong inputs. If you don't believe it, print the file name before: `use Data::Dumper; print "Trying to open file this file: ", Dumper($file); open my $f, '<', $file or die ...;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

use Data::Dumper;
print "Trying to open file this file: ", Dumper($file);
open my $f, '<', $file or die ...;
