Sorry, close returns false to signal failure, not undef. > close $fh or $? != 0 or die "close: $!"; Reading over the perldoc again, the correct check might be $!, not !?. I guess if the only reason close is signalling failure is the exit status of the child process then close will set $! to 0. So perhaps... close $fh or $! == 0 or die "close: $!"; Hopefully that covers all of my errors.. >_< Regards, -- Brandon McCaig <bamcc...@gmail.com> <bamcc...@castopulence.org> Castopulence Software <https://www.castopulence.org/> Blog <http://www.bamccaig.com/> perl -E '$_=q{V zrna gur orfg jvgu jung V fnl. }. q{Vg qbrfa'\''g nyjnlf fbhaq gung jnl.}; tr/A-Ma-mN-Zn-z/N-Zn-zA-Ma-m/;say'
