I installed strawberry perl, edited out all my feeble attempts at
troubleshooting, and -- voila! --, it's working.
Thanks for all your help and encouragement.
At my age, I'll never be a perl programmer and having to take Neurontin
doesn't help my mental accuity, but getting through this makes me
The program begins
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tie::File;
use File::Copy 'copy';
use File::Spec;
my $copy="00-copy.htm";
my $recapfile="00recap.txt";
my $htmfile="00.htm";
my $ct;
tie my @bfile, 'Tie::File', $recapfile or die "cannot tie recapfile and
bfile $!";
tie my @hfile, 'Tie::File',

Here's a small portion of my script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tie::File;
use File::Copy 'copy';
use File::Spec;
my $copy="00-copy.htm";
my $recapfile="00recap.txt";
my $htmfile="00.htm";
tie my @hfile, 'Tie::File', $copy or die "cannot tie copy and hfile $!";
tie my @bfile, 'Tie::File',
Thanks, Shawn. Responses are inline, below.

When I think of the word "beginners", I think of people starting out to
learn perl and looking for advice.
I'm actually not a beginner but a sort of "returner". Almost 80 years
old, I use an occasional perl script to do a job that has to be repeated
a couple of times a week, or one that is used on

Suddenly, without warning or error messages, the script below is
producing null for values of $hfile and $bfile!
The script begins:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tie::File;
use File::Copy 'copy';
use File::Spec;
and further down, it has:
# Tie it to an array
#
(my $copy = $htmfile) =~ s/(\.htm)\z/-Copy

gawk "{print $NF}" file
