in reply to No such file or directory error
I wish I could say that it fails because Perl doesn't let you write 293-line subroutines, but that would be a lie. Perl will let you do that, copy/paste of nearly duplicated code, abstain from reasonable code formatting, and many other practices that make it extremely difficult to spot bugs -- difficult enough that I almost wish the lie were true. Instead, I just move on to questions that don't make my eyes burn.
