Sorry, I can't help with this issue. It was just something to try based on your last post.
I've cc'd this back to the list. Please keep the discussion there.

I tried this to no avail. The script I want to execute is executable.

Maybe I've missed something here, but why are you storing a single string in an array?? Try this $arg = "$Basedir/ftpscr"; if (system($arg)) { die "cannot execute ftpscr $!"; } John -----Original Message----- From: Tony McGuinness [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 February 2002 14:55 To: Perl List (E-mail) Subject: Illegal seek Hi there, I checked up on system and rewrote the line that calls system. Now I have: @args = ("$Basedir/ftpscr"); system(@args) == 0 or die "cannot execute ftpscr $!"; but the script is not executed. No errors are returned.
