you mean something like: ### sub MakeTmpFile { ### my ($file, @mlist ) = @_; ### open(FH, ">> $file") or die "unable to open $file:$!\n"; ### print FH "$_\n" foreach(@mlist); ### close FH ; ### ### } # end of MakeTmpFile that takes a list of lines to append to the file vice a single string - but I guess it would still work... > My problem is that this will run on a webserver. Do I have to use lock or > there's no problem when appending to a file? are you running this under mod_perl and hence could have more than one invocation all trying to append to the same file???? Yeah a lock file IS a way to solve that type of problem. ciao drieux --- ps: If I can be of help email me directly... or read from where I am stashing the bits and bobs that i have demoed: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/lang/Perl/Beginners/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
