To write to a file you would use something like:
open (FILEHANDLE, ">FILENAME");
this command will overwrite anything that already exists in this file or
create a new file if one doesn't already exist.
Or you could use
open (FILEHANDLE, ">>FILENAME");
this will open (or create) the file for appending i.e. adding stuff to the
end of the file.
Hope this helps, :)

Sally

Subject: how to create a file
I want a perl program when executed to send the data to a file such as
text.txt but i dont need to open the file first.
apparently i don't understand what the command is to do this
If it is open close or write ?
any suggestions on the right command to use and the yntex so i can
experiment with saving data created in pearl programs to files
