Thanks for all you help first of all I appreicate it.
the thing is, I have no idea how to start like I don't know where to look...is this a socket client/server communication type of thing or what?
like....if u see what I mean...yes it is just a simple opening a file on unix system problem...if my program/script is on the unix system then it's easy, evena beginner knows...but the problem is I have to access that file OUTSIDE of the system. like...I have no idea perl could do taht before and I had been searching for days I don;'t know where to look. If someone could give me some ideas or some hints as to wehre to look for answer that would be great. I had been looking at differnet functions, POSIX and stuff....no idea....I am really lost.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
