Re: read an integer from a file

[Boldra]

Try changing the print $a to print STDERR $a and looking in the log file.

As it's written it looks like $a is going to be the first thing sent back to the browser, making further headers useless.

Update
And use IO::All, it's just so cool.

   open (MYFILE, "status2.txt");
   $a=<MYFILE>;
   print "$a";

   # can be written as
   use IO::All;
   $a < io("status2.txt");
   print "$a";
