Still not right though -- it was suggested to you that you use the $! variable in your die statement so that you get the error message, hence: do_stuff( $arg) or die "Can't do stuff!"; # bad! do_stuff( $arg) or die "Can't do stuff!" $!; # good! Also, as another person noted, chown() and chmod() are built in to Perl, so there's no need to make a system call to do these operations. Also, why are you prefixing your variables with $main:: ? There can be good reasons to do this, but they're esoteric -- most of the time you can safely leave out the 'main::' part. -- 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>
