John, I may be a little old fashioned, however, the code below seems to work OK.
>open(INFILE, "<mytextfile.txt") || die "Error opening mytextfile.txt.$!,stopped"; >@info = <INFILE>; >close(INFILE); Sincerely in Christ, Mark-Nathaniel Weisman President / Owner Outland Domain Group Consulting Anchorage / Washington DC / Bellevue [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: John Park [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem writing to a file Hi everyone, I have a script where I am trying to write information to a file but could not do so. This is what my script looks like: #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; ... ... open(FILE,">newfile.txt") || die("newfile.txt: $!"); #script stops here due to permissions I can open files, and output its contents to a new webpage. Am I using the wrong function for creating files?
