Firstly, yes it is possible to write to a local file. I tried your program and it worked creating menu.txt.

If the file didn't get created then it is probably being created somewhere else. Put a

use Cwd; print cwd();
Into your program to see where it thinks the current directory is, then look there for menu.txt

Secondly - check the version of perl between your local machine and the remote machine.

perl -V
Will tell you, or if you don't have shell access just run that from a system command.

If it is < perl 5.6 then use diagnostics won't work which is a possibly explanation.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
