Re: Can't open file within subroutine

[jjhorner]

In your code above, you are never getting a line.

Your code opens the file, but never draws data. Try something like this:

@lines = <INFO>;

Your code has other issues, such as:

• Why do you call a subroutine first, but declare it inside your foreach loop? I wouldn't even use the subroutine structure. This is small enough that you probably shouldn't need it.
• You don't want to have a "close" call inside a different loop than the "open" call. Will cause funny things, I believe.

I hope this helps.
