I have this snippit of code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use English;
use diagnostics;
use File::Copy;
use File::DosGlob qw(glob);
my $error=0;
copy($_,'Z:/mail_test') foreach glob 'E:/EudoraPro/*.mbx';
printf ("Mailboxes done!\n");
copy($_,'Z:/mail_test') foreach glob 'E:/EudoraPro/*.toc';
printf ("TOC's done!\n");
Some of it I picked up elsewhere some of it is my own. What I wanted it to do was to copy all the *.mbx and *.toc files to a network share for backup purposes and then to tell me it completed that task. The copying works fine, but I never see the "Mailboxes are done" and TOC's are done" messages.
I'm using Activestate Perl v5.6.1 build 633 on a Windows 98 machine.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
