VMS Perl people -- I can open a file for append from DCL but can't open it from Perl. I'd like to know both "how come" and how I can get a more useful status from Perl about why. No doubt this is a baby question, but it seems like a VMS-related one. From DCL: $ open/append LOG $9$dka0:[reqs_log]reqs.log $ write LOG "--------------------------------------------------------------" $ write LOG "test" $ write LOG "test" $ write LOG "test" $ write LOG "--------------------------------------------------------------" $ close LOG $ reqs.log is a Fortran carriage-control file, so this types out as ----------------------------------------------------------------- est est est ------------------------------------------------------------------ Then $ perl open LOG, ">> $9$dka0:[reqs_log]reqs.log" or die "couldn't open it"; ^Z couldn't open it at - line 1. %RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error $ perl open LOG, "+>> $9$dka0:[reqs_log]reqs.log" or die "couldn't open it"; Exit couldn't open it at - line 1. %RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error $ Thanks for any insight. -- Alan =============================================================================== Alan Winston --- WINSTON@SSRL.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU Disclaimer: I speak only for myself, not SLAC or SSRL Phone: 650/926-3056 Paper mail to: SSRL -- SLAC BIN 99, 2575 Sand Hill Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025 ===============================================================================Thread Next
