Hi Dylan Check your version of Fcntl. The EXPORT_TAGS hash in Fcntl.pm should have an key of 'seek' which, according to the Perl dianostics, it doesn't.
As a quick fix you could try: use Fcntl qw(SEEK_SET SEEK_CUR SEEK_END); HTH, Rob "Dylan Boudreau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 004001c2b7f8$082c5250$0400a8c0@dylan">news:004001c2b7f8$082c5250$0400a8c0@dylan... > I am trying to use seek from Fcntl and am getting the following errors > when I try and run the program. > > "seek" is not defined in %Fcntl::EXPORT_TAGS at > /usr/perl5/5.00503/Exporter.pm line 67 > Exporter::export('Fcntl', 'main', ':seek') called at > /usr/perl5/5.00503/Exporter.pm line 182 > Exporter::import('Fcntl', ':seek') called at lists.pl line 3 > main::BEGIN() called at /usr/perl5/5.00503/Carp.pm line 3 > eval {...} called at /usr/perl5/5.00503/Carp.pm line 3 > > I am using the following syntax to import: > > use Fcntl qw/:seek/; > > And the following to invoke: > > seek $list, 0, SEEK_SET or die "Cannot seek on '$file' $!"; > > > I know I should be able to figure this out on my own but I am pretty new > to perl and have been on vacation for a month so to say I am rusty is a > bit of an understatement.
