That is because you are *not* printing "Browser Test" to the OUTFILE handle.
open(OUTFILE, ">>survey.txt"); print OUTFILE "this is a test!!!\n"; print OUTFILE "<html>Browser test</html>\n"; close(OUTFILE); -----Original Message----- From: Elliot Holden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 11:55 AM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: file input/output okay this may seem like a simple problem but here it goes: when running the the script below from the unix (mac osx) command line the "survey.txt" file is created and "this a test!!!" is written to the file. But when running it from a browser the file is Not created and "Browser test" is displayed in the browser. So in essennce when running from a browser the file creation section of the script is being skipped over. Please, please, please, why is this happening, somebody? I've tried it on diffferent browsers - Mozilla, IE. open(OUTFILE, ">>survey.txt"); print OUTFILE "this is a test!!!\n"; close(OUTFILE); print "<html>Browser test</html>\n"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> The contents of this E-mail (including the contents of the enclosure(s) or attachment(s) if any) are privileged and confidential material of MBT and should not be disclosed to, used by or copied in any manner by anyone other than the intended addressee(s).
