Most likely explanation is that the web server user does not have write
privilege in the directory you're trying to create the file in, or the file
already exists and the web server user doesn't have write privilege.
Add $! to your error message to see more information.

($file is not defined)
open (TXT, ">/some/absolute/path/tmp.txt") || die "Can't create file: $!";
You should always use an absolute path from a CGI script. Don't make
assumptions about what the current directory is. Probably, it's the script
directory, but you can't depend on that.
