Yes I should have used / instead of \ it would have worked on both. I also should have changed the path > 'C:\work\_RHWork\projects\perl-beginers\directory-read\files-dir'; To > 'C:/work/_RHWork/projects/perl-beginers/directory-read/files-dir';
That way you can should be able to run it on windows and linux.. Most of my development it on windows. So I don't think too much about unix compability.

Hello, problem solved. The script was writeen for windows with \\ in the path. It should run on a linux box. I replaced the \\ with // and now it works. Is ti possible, for compatibility, to use // in windows too ? Thanks Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
