Message: [QUOTE="Bart Lateur, post: 4746403"] That's not your problem. your problem is here: I'm sure you're using relative paths? Then your problem is simply in your current directory when the script is run. You could demand that people chdir to the path containing the files, before calling your script, or you could use the FindBin module to find out where the script itself is. I'll stay a bit sketchy on that approach, because FindBin is somewhat broken, it sometimes refuses to work in mysterious ways. The approach I'm advocating, is to simply figure out the path, either absolute or relative, out of $0, the name for the script, since that is *always* a valid path, at startup. At least, I can't think of any counter-examples. So I guess this should work, at least on Unixy systems: $0 =~ /(.*)\// and chdir $1; Now your script should be able to find the files. [/QUOTE]
