I am using the -w option and yes, I do make checks for
open and close. The input file is only 6 lines long.
The only thing not included in the code I gave was the
open/close file checks.
Is this Solaris specific problem?
Thanks to all for the help....

You should test to see if the open failed:
open(REGION_NAME, '<region_file')
or die "Could not open region_file: $!\n";

You can use the default variable here ($_):
while(<REGION_NAME>) {
print;
}

You should also test to make sure the close worked, like you do for the
opening.
Is that the entire script?
