hehe thanks pludi, newbie error Smilie www didn't have the proper permissions.. but let me ask this.. the holy trinity i found quite useful. I fixed the variable declaration it complained about with 'buffer' and it pointed out the permissions error. Without the permissions detail I would've been lost.

Now I know that the symbol declaration issue wasn't the source of my problems but is it generally good practice to check/clean up perl scripts using it?? or do ppl generally ignore some entries they know are common and are not an issue since when you ask it to be strict it's only doing what you told it?
