Try dropping to a cmd window and running it there. So if you have mycode.pl you should be able to just run 'mycode'. btw, you need to be in the same dir to do that... dir mycode.pl should list your file... The reason it closes is perl is running in a command window. So it opens the window, runs your code, then when your code is completed, it closes the command window. Another thing you could do is put a 'sleep 30' statement at the end of your code. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! eMail v1.61 Windows 2000 5.0.2195 (Service Pack 2) use Perl; \ program \ fulfillment -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
