hey
your code is working when the user inputs the name correctly the first time , but if he gives a wrong name the first time , so i am doing this
while (!-e $filename)
{
print "-*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-
+*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*-\n";
print STDERR "\n$filename not found. \n Ensure that you have
+ given the correct file name\n and the file exists in the working dir
+ectory \n.";
print "Re-enter filename, or q to quit: ";
$filename = <STDIN>;
chomp $filename;
# my @filenam = split ('\.', $filename);
exit() if $filename eq "q";
}
the line commented out by me is what I did so everytime user inputs the file name it should get updated but its not happening , can you tell me why

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
