error closing a file

HI,

I am getting this error while closing a file:

Use of uninitialized value in ref-to-glob cast at ./spam_working2.pl
line 170.
Can't close out_file Bad file number at ./spam_working2.pl line 170.

line 170: close $out_file or die "Can't close out_file $!";

why isn't it closing?

Ok I answered my own question, I had previously commented out the open
file lines...
