> $prefix_file = ` date '+%x' ` ; according to man, %x Current date representation. For example, 01/12/94. That means your filename probably has slashes in it, which the OS will interpret as a subdirectory path. add this line next and try it: > $prefix_file = ` date '+%x' ` ; $prefix_file =~ s/\W+/_/g; That should convert "01/12/94" to "01_12_94", which is ok as a filename. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
