i am developing and testing my scripts with macperl before i upload them to a unix server when i normally refer to a path or filename, for example "content/test.file" or "../../html/wow.html" the macperl seems to not be compatible with this method of refering. example: open FILEOUT, ">> content/test.file" creates a file in the current directory that is actually named "content/test.file" and in other words does not put it in the content directory. do you know what the solution is? sincerely lime agent ==== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ==== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-anyperl-request@macperl.org
