Ah. PerlScript. :)

One problem is with your filename string:

my $sitelist_file="<c:\supportweb\content\sitelist.txt" print $sitelist_file; __END__ <c:supportwebntentsitelist.txt

Double-quoted strings treat backslash as starting escape sequences. Use single quotes instead:

my $sitelist_file='<c:\supportweb\content\sitelist.txt'; print $sitelist_file; __END__ <c:\supportweb\content\sitelist.txt

A more fundamental problem is that you're not checking if your open succeeded. A standard check would have revealed this problem to you:

open DATA, $sitelist_file or die "Cannot open '$sitelist_file': '$!'";

... that is, if you know where to find the error log. It's been too long since I looked at ASP and PerlScript.

Oh, and you have a syntax error. Typo? for each should be foreach, or simply for:

for my $line (@lines){ $response->write($line); }

print "Just another Perl ${\(trickster and hacker)},"
The Sidhekin proves Sidhe did it!

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
