What's that extra "\n" doing on the end of each element of the @accounts array? It'll be still present when you try to use the element to open up the directory, leading to a "file not found" error. So either strip that or just change the line $acc = $accounts[0] ; to read chomp($acc = $accounts[0]); and you should be fine. Cheers, Paul
