in reply to File Reading (.CHR file)
From the lines #!/usr/bin/perl and open (NEWFILE, "C:\\cygwin\\home\\Administrator\\test.chr"); I'm guessing you're running this in a cygwin shell on a Windows box. Does cygwin recognize "C:\\cygwin\\..." as a path, or should it be something like "/home/Administrator/test.chr"?
