I am pretty sure that is what I have: You suggested, "{ if ( exists $new_list{$file} ) {" The code is broken into two lines to improve readability, but all of the code you suggested is present. Unless I am missing something! `sub DirCompare{ for my $file ( keys %old_list ) { if ( exists %new_list{$file} ) { next; } else { push @diffs, "Old file not in new: $file"; } } for my $file ( keys %new_list) { if ( exists %old_list{ $file } ) { next; } else { push @diffs, "Old file not in new: $file"; } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Contrast:`if ( exists %new_list{$file} ) {` with:`if ( exists $new_list{$file} ) {` Can you see.............^.....the difference? With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I see it now. Sorry. It cleared the error. Now I get to go to the next error! I love learning Perl (at least that is what I am telling myself:)). Thanks for your help	[reply]
