When I execute the script below, I get the error message "No such file

This script parallels a tutorial script that does work and I don't see
the
error. It does print to the screen if I comment out the Open OUT line.
Thanks in advance.
#!/bin/perl
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
my $output_dir = "c:/training/bc";
my $starting_url = "http://clerk.house.gov/members/olmbr.html";;
my $browser = WWW::Mechanize->new();

open OUT, ">output_dir/simple2.html" or die "Can't open file: $!";
Maybe the directory 'output_dir' does not exists. perl wont create
directories unless you tell it to by using the mkdir function.
print OUT $browser->content;
close OUT;
}
close PAGE;
print $browser->content;
That's it: I needed $output_dir/simple2.html - missing the $ Now have to
start working on the regex as I got the page with "No matches found"
