I see the site_perl directory now, thanks. <longversion> To fill you in on what exactly I'm doing: The script accepts periodic data or text input files from a vendor (for a specific database), parses it to fit our specifications, and outputs a text file for a bulk-insert into a SQL database. </longversion>
I think I've got it this time: #!/opt/perl/bin/perl -w use MY_MODULE; # (in /opt/perl/bin/perl/site_perl); my $inputFile = $ARGV[0] ? $ARGV[0] : "/tmp/vendor1/bigDataFile.txt"; open (IN, "<$inputFile") or die "Can't open input file ($inputFile): $!\n"; Thanks for helping a self-taught hermit scripter learn some manners. -Tim Grant
