Actually, I did. Its just that the system its failing on doesn't have a good internet connection, and when I was describing the problem, I was typing in stuff from memory and I forgot to enter the code which prints $!. The error I'm getting is "Invalid Argument". (I think - I did mention it in my last post). The file name is "E:\BU_0\C\Prefs". That is to say: typing: DOS>perl test.pl E:\BU_0\C\Prefs gets an error message: Unable to open "E:\BU_0\C\Prefs" for reading (Invalid Argument) and typing: DOS>type E:\BU_0\C\Prefs works fine (causing the contents of the file to be sent to the screen. I've tried doubling the backslashes, and making it all caps, etc. It also works fine as is on a different Win 98 system. Its just failing on this one system. Anybody got any ideas? I'd appreciate a reply to me, not just the list, because I only subscribe to the digest, and its not really well formatted for anything but a quick scan.
