Invalid argument
Anyone got any idea as to why I'm getting an "Invalid argument" error with the following code?

open(DATAOUT,"<./data/Accreditation/accrediting.csv") || die "Cant open file. Reason: $!";

The full error is;

Cant open file. Reason: Invalid argument at C:\..\research_import.cgi line 13.

I'm confused Unsure

TIA

Just a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) but try replacing the || with "or".

May not help, but you never know... or make sure the directory name is not supposed to be capitalized (accred... vs. Accred...)

I ended up taking another approach. Took the open() stuff out, used __DATA__ and defined the data at the bottom of the page. I then sliced the <DATA> up into lines,and did a foreach() loop on it. That didn't seem to give any errors Smile
