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.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
