did you try escaping the backslashes like: my $outputfile = "e:\\inetpub\\mrtg\\modem-fail.htm"; On Fri, 15 Oct 1999, K Mitchell wrote:

I got Eric Billeter's badmodems.pl script to work checking failure rates, but I'm having 2 issues with it; 1. The output file isn't being named/placed correctly. The line my $outputfile - "e:\inetpub\mrtg\modem-fail.htm"; puts a file named inetpubmrtgmodem-fail.htm directly on the e:\ drive. 2. I would like to either schedule it to run when called by a webpage link or button, or, failing that, schedule it to run every so often. Any ideas for either?

Thanks,
