note antihec There seems to be a minor issue with the <code>open</code> Statement in Line 55.<br> If you write it as <code>open( PLAYLIST, "<playlist.m3u" ) || die "Can't open playlist: $!";</code>, it will do what you mean. In its current form it evaluates to <code>open PLAYLIST, ("playlist.m3u" || die);</code>, I think.<p> The print doesn't return 0, for me it returns undef, so I changed line 118 to <code>unless( defined( $print_status ))</code> to get rid of "uninitialized value"<p> Thanks for sharing this nice code, btw! :-) <code> -- bash$ :(){ :|:&};: </code> 8650 8650
