Hi , I already tested with /vobstg.tar in the gzip command but still it's hanging and i am executing this perl script from / partition only.
Main thing is that it's creating /vobstg.tar.gz file but not coming to shell prompt or not executing next command plz let me know any other option.

This might be an issue if your current working directory is not /. Otherwise, I don't see any glaring errors. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
