Hi ,
I am using following code
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# Main program
use warnings;
use strict;
my $file = "c:\backup.pl";
open(FH,$file) || die " can't open a file"; [...]
For the die statement, use this instead:
die " can't open this file: $file reason: $!";
Your problem is that \b has a special meaning in a double-quoted string.
It's a backspace character. Escape the backslash by putting another
backslash before it.
