I am new to Perl and new to the Mac; a dangerous combination. I'm having trouble opening a file for reading. I say open(INFILE,'array:javed14.pl') or die "Can't open input. \t"; where javed14.pl is a file in a folder called array. The folder is on the desktop of my powerbook 5300c. I get the can't open message. Is there some better way of specifying where the file is? I'd greatly appreciate help.
