Re: Re: A slight variation in warn output... why?

[isotope]

    open (M, "tail +3 $_ |") or die $!; 
    # Do you mean $file instead of $_ here?

Update: I know it doesn't look like it should make much difference, but might as well rule out a possible scoping issue with $_ first. Speaking of scoping, I meant to reply to the OP. Oh well.

--isotope
