I am receiving "/home/users/me/foo.pl did not return a true value at ./program1.pl at line 2" where line 2 is the "require". Any ideas?

Did it return an error? Note that 'require' is runtime, but 'use' is compile time, except when the 'use' happens in a 'require' I suspect, in which case it is at compile time at the point of the require. Also note that 'strict' is a pragma rather than normal module. And what is fcntl? http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
