Re^3: trying to read files in @ARGV but getting GLOB error! :(

[zentara]

for ($i=1; $i<=3; $i++) {
  open $input1, '<', "$path\/File-$molec1-cluster$i.out" or die $!;
  push @ARGV, "$path\/File-$molec1-cluster$i.out";

  for ($j=2; $j<=3; $j++) {
  open $input2, '<', "$path\/File-$molec2-cluster$j.out" or die $!;

  push @ARGV, "$path\/File-$molec2-cluster$j.out";

I don't understand why this pattern appears...?

Hi, it does look odd. The only thing I see is missing } sub-ending brackets in your code, maybe that missing sub closure is important. As always, a small-self-contained working example would be useful here. Because usually, when you need to make an example, you see the error yourself.

No, the script has no syntax errors if that's what you mean by } sub-ending bracket missing? I just copied and pasted it quickly to show that I think this is where the problem lies. I still can't figure it out and it's been hours. I'll be posting an updated version of the script with an output included, I really can't figure this out :(

Please pay heed to zentara's advice about the Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example: "a small-self-contained working example would be useful here. ... usually, when you ... make an example, you see the error yourself." Even if you never present this to anyone else, I know from personal experience that it can be enormously useful in debugging.

My other thought is maybe you have hyperthreading enabled on a multiple core computer, and it's gone haywire. :-) My suggestion is to start printing out $i and $j and your @array and your @ARGV at key points in the code and see what happens as it loops thru.
