First things first: does the version I sent yesterday work? Focus on getting the FTP transaction to finish properly, then start thinking about adding in logging code. > As far as the $^ I variable, yes I have tried just opening the files > and reading and writing from them!

I assume you must be replying to someone else here. > Here is what I have but it still not working. Delete the logging code. Get things to work without it. Then start adding it back in. Hint: when you get to that point -- which you haven't yet, it seems -- a common way to do logging is something like this $status = do_something_risky( @args ); $time = set_timestamp; print LOG "$time - did something risky: $status"; ( $status eq "OK" ) or die "Bad things happened! $status\n$!"; Or something like that -- the point being that the logging should happen before the die statement, not after it. The whole point of the die statement is to halt the program and throw an error message back, so anything that happens after that doesn't end up running. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
