Why do you backslash the . in "$ARGV[0]\.bak" but not in "completed.\n"? Long story short, you don't need to \ the . in either case, and you don't need quotes around $ARGV[0] as the first argument to copy(). copy($ARGV[0] => "$ARGV[0].bak"); -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
