I have version 5.6.1 running on win98. The file test statement doesn't seem to work ( -e -f -T etc.). The following code doesn't detect the existence of file dston. #use POSIX; ($sec, $min, $hr, $mday, $mon, $yr, $wkday, $yrday, $isdst) = localtime; system ("dir dston"); if (-T dston){ $offchn=15; $offphx=0; } else { print " dston not found \n"; $offchn=16; $offphx= 1; } print "China: ", scalar localtime( time + $offchn*3600), "\n"; print "Los Angeles: ", scalar localtime, "\n"; print "New York: ", scalar localtime( time + 3*3600), "\n";
-------------------- It prints out the message "dston not found" even tho the system command lists the file ok. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
