Okay, here's the latest iteration: I print the name from a readdir, I open it and print a line from it, and still get the "No such file or directory" message. How is this possible? I wondered if the require was somehow setting the cwd to something weird, so I added an END sub to print it out again...here's the output: ------------------------------------- Cwd: Annex:PowerWorld:Slurpie INC between bars: |Annex:Development:MacPerl :site_perl:MacPPC:| |Annex:Development:MacPerl :site_perl:| |Annex:Development:MacPerl :ext:| |Annex:Development:MacPerl :lib:MacPPC:| |Annex:Development:MacPerl :lib:| |Annex:Development:MacPerl :site_perl:MacPPC:| |Annex:Development:MacPerl :site_perl:| |:| |Dev:Pseudo:| Filenames in local dir with ParseCountry: ParseCountryList.pm First line of ParseCountryList.pm package ParseCountryList; # No such file or directory. File ':ParseCountryList.pm'; Line 23 Cwd again. Annex:PowerWorld:Slurpie ---------------------------------------- And here's the code: #!/usr/bin/perl -w sub BEGIN { use Cwd; my $cwd = cwd(); print " Cwd:\n"; print "$cwd\n\n"; chdir( $cwd) or die "Can't change to cwd: $!\n"; print " INC between bars:\n|"; print (join "|\n|", @INC); print "|\n\n"; print " Filenames in local dir with ParseCountry:\n"; opendir CWDD, ":"; @filez = grep /ParseCountry/, readdir CWDD; print (join "\n", @filez); print "\n\n"; } print " First line of ParseCountryList.pm\n"; open TRY, "< ParseCountryList.pm" or die "Open file failed: $!\n"; while (<TRY>) { print; last; } close TRY; print "\n"; require ParseCountryList; open OUTPUT, "> clist.out"; my $p; ParseCountryList->parse("country.html", $p); print OUTPUT "Now for the data...\n"; foreach $elem ( @{$p} ) { print OUTPUT "Name: $elem->{'name'}, URL: $elem->{'url'}, Abbr: $elem->{'abbr'}\n"; } close OUTPUT; sub END { my $cwd = cwd(); print " Cwd again.\n$cwd\n"; } __END__ Maybe I should find a different occupation.
