Re^2: Close a file and reopen a new one at midnight

[Anonymous Monk]

This is what I changed it to. The time is not 0000 for testing. It still does not work.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use IO::Socket;
use MIME::Lite;
use Time::Out qw(timeout);
$SIG{PIPE} = "IGNORE";

                  Type     => SOCK_STREAM,
                );
die "cannot open socket" unless ($sock);

my $filename = "/tmp/$ymd.txt";
print $filename, "\n";
open $file, ">$filename" || die("Couldn't open $file");


while (my $line = <$sock>) {

# Close existing $file and reopen a new one at time listed.
    if($hrmin eq 1228) {

    close $file;
