I have this simple piece of code:
use warnings;
use strict;
use diagnostics;
open(LOG,"C:/WINDOWS/U.S. Robotics 56K Voice INT PnP.log") || die "Can
+'t open1";
open(ARCHIVE,">>H:/ppp_stats.log") || die "Can't open2";
while(<LOG>){
print ARCHIVE $_;
}
open(LOG,">C:/WINDOWS/U.S. Robotics 56K Voice INT PnP.log") || die "Co
+uldn't truncate logfile!";
close ARCHIVE;
close LOG;
Basically all I want is for the US Robotics log file to be appended to the ppp_stats log file since Windows truncates the US Robotics file from time to time. it works great 90% of the time but I sometimes get duplicate lines in the appended file. What am I doing wrong?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
