Have you tried printing ">/path/to/$line/dir/thefile" to the screen to make sure it's printing what you expect?

I really need some inputs here. OK, here's what I want to do : 1.#!/usr/bin/perl -w 2.use strict; 3.my @users = qw/ donna maria karina /; 4.foreach my $line (@user){ 5. open TEMP, ">/path/to/$line/dir/thefile" or die "$!"; 6. print TEMP "|/usr/local/blah ./$line/maildir/filter"; 7. close TEMP or die "$!";} line no.5 isn't working, although the directory really exist. are there any other ways to do this? thank you. regards, Gregor WATCHOUT! 3RD INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONTMENTAL ARCHITECTURE + DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE, 9-10 MARCH 2002, YOGYAKARTA http://senvar.virtue.nu or http://senvar.uajy.web.id NATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION http://senvar.uajy.web.id/lombadesain _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
