Not sure what will happen, but what's the harm in just including the line close LOGFILE; at the end of your loop?

Just as a little question (I'm not gonna bother starting a new thread), is there any way to get CGI::Carp to give more useful error messages? When I do not include the line and examine the log file, it gives the error message and the line number. But CGI::Carp just reports the extremely...

I think the problem is that you used 'my' with $counter twice. I think that saying my $counter += 1 will overwrite the previous value, giving the variable just a value of 1.

Sorry, I actually made a mistake. The period is a wildcard for ANY character. So if you want a physical period, then escape it: s/\.tga/\.gif/ Sorry for forgetting that ;)

Use the s/ regex, not the tr/ one. I'm pretty sure that your tr/ regexp will do this: *Replace all periods with a period (no change) *replace all t's with g's *Replace all g's with i's *Replace all a's wth f's. The s/ one will work fine.

Just add more requires... #!/usr/bin/perl require "cards3.pl"; require "cards4.pl"; require "cards5.pl";

If you don't want anyone to be able to look at your file from the web browser, use the extension .cgi or .pl instead of .txt It won't be a real CGI or Perl file, but browsers won't read it as they would a text file. Your script will read it the same way as the text file.

If you want to make sure that all of them are real email addresses, try this: Assuming the email addresses are stored in @EmailAddresses, do this: for $i (0 .. 4) { print "Entry number $i is not an email address!" if ($EmailAddresses[$i] !~ /[\w\.-]+\@[\w-]+\.\w{2,}/); }

Or maybe the perl location is #!/usr/local/bin/perl

Shouldn't this: for ( $i = 0; $i < @a; ++$i ) { be this? for ( $i = 0; $i < $#a; ++$i ) {

Although I don't know of a solution to your problem, the above solution would reload the page in 5 minutes whether the computer was idle or not, wouldn't it?

If you want to check whether the file exists, you would use -e, wouldn't you? -z returns true if the file exists but is zero-size. I could be wrong, though. But I always use -e to see if the file exists.
