Also note that the file path is relative to the script that is being run, not where your perl executable is.
e.g. if perl is at e:\perl\bin\perl.exe and your script is at e:\scripts\myScript.cgi and the file is e:\workflow.txt then the path needs to read open("Workflow", "..\workflow.txt")|| die "Cannot open Workflow $!\n"; Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
