>Thanks, >James. Why don't you use new_tmpfile class method of IO::File use IO::File; $fh = IO::File->new_tmpfile or die "Error:Unable to open File $!\n"; This creates a temporary file...you won't have to bother See Cookbook section 7.5 for more details!! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
