Sorry -- somehow this mail got sent out without the upshot, namely, "what does error #022 mean??" ---- Hey, all. I'm running MacPerl 5.0.7r1m to generate hundreds & hundreds of HTML pages from a tab-delimited file. All is basically well, except that near the end of my script, when I need to open each file & append footer info [ open(LISTINGSPAGE, ">>$listingspagefp") ], one file out of the hundreds returns an error, with $! having the value "error #022". It's only the one file -- if I stick in a line to skip that file, the rest work fine. It's nothing physical like MacPerl running out of memory or filling my hard drive. I've deleted the file & started from scratch, & I still get error #022. I've changed the name of the file (from a579-st.html to a579-stu.html) & I still get error #022. ---- -- Jonathan
