Im absolutely stumped on this one. $_[0] is either '#ff0000' or 'red' it doesnt seem to matter. When I print to STDOUT I get what I would expect - the value of $_[0] printed to the screen. BUT when I print to IMAGE I dont get anything. Why does $color not have a value when I print to a file handle?? Ive also tried ${color}. Ive tried setting $color to a dummy value just before I print to the filehandle. In this case, I DO get the dummy value printed to the file handle. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time. -tyler open(IMAGE, ">d://perl/svg/files/${base}.${species}.${day}.${a}.svg") || die "Cant open image.svg\n"; sub plotCells{ my $color = $_[0]; print "$color\n"; # Tried $color = 'red'; print IMAGE "$color\n"; } # End function &plotCells. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
