No idea but; I would tend to beleive the "No such file or directory" statement. you can do an ls -la /var/szs/rules.dbm ? I would have written the "or die $!;" as or die "Can't dbmopen $!\n"; but then maybe you only have one die statement to worry about? I have never seen "dbmopen (%PLRULES, "/var/szs/rules.dbm", undef)" normally I see dbmopen (%PLRULES, "/var/szs/rules.dbm", 0666) or die..... %PLRULES=(); The syntax for dbmopen is Arrayname DB_filename mode so I just wonder if undef is a mode? -- Owen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
