Re^3: Permission denied writing to Windows 10

on such OS the path is always important:

# 64bit cmd.exe launched as Administrator (via right click runas)
C:\Windows\system32>echo wrote > "c:\Program Files\_ONE.txt"

C:\Windows\system32>type "c:\Program Files\_ONE.txt"
wrote

                                                               "c:\Pro

on such OS the path is always important:

The path is important on any OS; if you try to write to a path where you do not have permission to write, you will fail. That's as true under Linux as it is under zOS as it is under hpux.

The OP already demonstrated that he has permissions in the directory where he is trying to write; and indeed can write using command line redirection, and it is when trying to create that same file in that same place that Perl is failing; thus the problem is not the OS, or the path, or the permissions, but something screwed with his Perl installation.

So please stop trying to sell your red-herrings here.
