The line you gave is okay even under "use strict;", so the problem must be in some code before this line. One problem I saw in the past was that a module that was used overloaded the "open" function. To check if this is the case, change your line to: CORE::open(IN_FILE1, ">>test_records.txt"); Oh, and you should definitly "use strict; use warnings;" everywhere, in every script you write!!! -- Offer Kaye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
