I am trying to open a file in a perl program using the filehandles. I have the filepath/name stored in a string. I tried to open it like this: open(FILEHANDLE- $string) . It is not recognizing the string s value as a filepath. Does anyone know how to open a file whose filepath is stored in a string?
It is in a Unix environment. The file definitely exists because I can open the file via the filehandle by hard-coding the filename/path into the open method. I also made sure that the correct filename/path is stored in the string as well. What is happening is that it is saying the file that I am sending it doesn t exist.

ive tried on and on again to figure out how to get the system ive thought of for my website to happen but so far ive only ruined my mysql and put errors on all my stuff and im tired of it. Can someone please help me php and script for my website. My plans are to make an account database for my website that allows people to have one account that they can upload videos to it- edit there profile and have friends and suscribers- Make it so they can play some flash games and put up there high score- make it so that they can put up a guild or clan website for them- and alot of other stuff. Im also working on a vip system so they pay monthly billing for all the extra stuff like with a free account you can only upload 3 videos per day but with the vip account you can upload as much as you want and with the video games- you can play for 30 minutes an hour with the free but with a vip you can play as much as you want. And for alot of accounts- you can pay only 5 dollars a month. Anybody. :D
