Error-No such file or directory

Hi,

I just found my script doesn’t want to work on a machine with Perl 5.8 installed.
I used Perl 5.12 to write the code and it works on my PC.
Getting error: “Cannot open file … No such file or directory…”

Basically I’m looking for new files in a DIR.
I’ll process each new file and then I’ll move the files to a network DIR under the same names.

Do not know how to get around it. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, tester

Code:

Code:

 #!/use/bin/perl -w
 use strict;
 use warnings ;

     my $compname = $ENV{COMPUTERNAME} ;

          use File::Path;
           unless(-d "Z:/TErrors/$compname")              
         {    mkpath("Z:/TErrors/$compname", 0, 0755); }
    

     my $dir = 'D:/Temp';
     opendir(DIR, $dir) or die "Can't open directory $dir $!\n";
     
        while (my $file = readdir(DIR)) {
         next unless (-f "$dir/$file");
         next unless (-M "$dir/$file" < 1); 
         next unless ($file =~ m/\.log$/); 
         print $file, "\n" ;


 my  $logname   = $file ;  
     $nf = "Z:/TErrors/$compname/$logname" ; 
     
    open my $nf_fh,'>',$nf or die "Can't open $nf $!\n" ;
    
    open my $file_fh,'<',$file or die "Can't open $file  $!\n " ;
    
          while (my $line =<$file_fh>) {
                  chomp ($line);              
    	 if ($line =~ /SomeMatch/) 
    	 { 
    	  # do somehting else #
            print $nf_fh, $line "\n" ;	 
         }
       }
      close $file_fh ;
      close $nf_fh ;
      exit ;

Where do you get the error (i.e. on opening the input or the output file)?

As a side note, if your code was properly indented, you would have discovered that you are not closing your filehandles at the right place (you should do it once for every open statement, instead of once at the end), but that should still work because Perl is very nice with people doing this kind of mistakes. But you might discover some other mistake that I did not see. Indenting properly is never a waste of time.

Your script won't compile.

The starting point would be to read and then fix the problems that those error messages point out.

c:\testing>perl -c testerV.pl

Thank you Lauren, Fish!
I fixed it by adding lines (used code Fish suggested in my previous post):

Code:

   my @logfile = grep( -M $_ < 1, <$dir/*.log>);
   
   	  foreach my $file ( @logfile ) {
   	  	  chomp $file;
   	    	  print $file, "\n" ;	  
   	      my @logname  = split ("\/",$file) ;
   	  	  print $logname[-1], "\n" ;

    open my $file_fh,'<', $file or die "CAN'T open $file $!\n" ;      

    my $nf = "Z:/TErrors/$compname/$logname[-1]" ;
    open my $nf_fh,'>',$nf or die "Can't open $nf $!\n" ;

And here:

Code:

     close $file_fh ;
     close $nf_fh ;
       }
      exit ;

Thank you again!
