Thanks for the tip. Didn't thought of printing the error message.

The error message returned on the SuSE 11/Perl 5.14.1 is "No such file or directory". At least it gives me why now. The sad thing is, if I stat the path of the file with 'ls' it gives me from your syntax (same terminal, without modifying anything) it says it can find it (correct rights, correct user and non-empty file).

File is created in my home and my home is on nfs.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
