In the above code which is actually given in the node, you are assigning a value to $distrib_dir = $FindBin::Bin; then you are declaring the saame variable as follows my ( ${birt_dir}, ${distrib_dir}, ${hostname} ); which will make the $distrib_dir as empty. Because I could see the you are using $distrib_dir in getting the value of $tar_dir.

• 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).
