that won't even compile. are you sure you aren't seeing a compiler
error?
and check opens for errors:
open NEWBIE, "<$target" or die "can't open $target $!" ;

your lines already have newlines so no need to print another.

why the c style comments here? we can tell code from your email text.

why wouldn't it? paths are paths, relative or absolute. if the path is
good, the file can be usually found and opened (given proper permissions).
