I might be being a bit thick but I can't get it to work. It looks as though the WRITE line only works if
$result is a file, not a file path. I find that
my $file = "/home/htdocs/hosted/thinweb/trainingboard.co.uk/consumers/
+savedsearches/$g{'SearchFile'}";
open(WRITE,">$file") or die $!;
fails, whereas
chdir "/home/htdocs/hosted/thinweb/trainingboard.co.uk/consumers/saved
+searches";
open(WRITE,">$g{'SearchFile'}") or die $!;
succeeds. (NB the earlier lines I posted were re-written to make the examples easier to read - the above are as in my actual script, just in case there's something else funny going on... in which case I apologise for my over-zealous desire to do a tidy post).
