$all_links[3] needs to be cleaned up. It contains as trailing "\n" and there is a space between "http://"; and "bolinux39" that should not be there. The "\n" is easily addressed by: chomp @all_links; You should look at your script to determine how the space got there. You can get rid of all spaces by: $all_links[3] =~ s/ //g; but that may not be what you want. You're better off figuring out how the unwanted space got there in the first place and making sure it doesn't. Tony
