You probably haven't initialized $folder, or maybe the file specifies
a directory which doesn't exist.
To get a better idea of the problem (and as a general rule), always
include offending data in error messages, e.g.
my $infile = "$path/ExhibitionFolder/98/Templates/$NEWPAGE";
open(PAGEIN, "<$infile") or die("Can't read template $infile: $!\n");
my $outfile = "$folder/$Exname/$NEWPAGE";
open(PAGEOUT, ">$outfile") or die("Can't write $outfile: $!\n");
That should show you which filename can't be opened.

Jonathan
