Do you mean you want to create a file within a subdirectory? > open(MYFILE, ">>", "confused&lost/.com") > or die "2. Can't open MYFILE for writing: $!. > Stopped"; I'm hoping that you want to create a file called ".com" in the directory "confused&lost". Could that be it? See the mkdir() function if it is. If your operating system (or filesystem) reserves forward slashes as a special character in filepaths, you won't be able to use that character in the name itself. What OS are you using? Is there another character that could serve your needs? Are you trying to do something involving a URL? Is this a homework assignment? If we haven't guessed correctly, please tell us: What are you _really_ trying to accomplish by putting characters like '/' and '&' in a filename?
