You can also use the process ID (PID) of the perl script as part of the filename. This is stored in the $$ variable: my $tempfile = "/tmp/myscript.$$.tmp"; # Creates a file similar to /tmp/myscript.27728.tmp It's also wise to clean up the tempfiles at the end of using them: unlink($tempfile); =-= Robert T. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
