i noticed when my program ran in a cmd window and that window was not the 'active' window, the program would bomb at inconsistent times.
as it was my lunch time, and i didnt have to do 'other work', i ran the exact same program again - but this time left the cmd window as the top-most 'active' window. now it ran through to completion - without any errors! i would have zero ideas as to how/why a perl program running under an 'active' cmd window would be able to run through to completion - when the exact same program running not as active window would bomb. this is a first for me... just wanted to pass this info along... greg
