What happens if you type echo . > hello.txt at that same command line?

    It works as expected - I get a hello.txt file created with the . in it.

      Okay. Now try perl -E"say for 1 .. 10" > hello.txt

      And if that works (which it should) then try:

      perl -E"open O, '>', 'hello.txt' or die $^E; say for 1 .. 10; close O"

        The first command line worked - I got a file with the integers 1-10.

        However, the second command line failed with the error:

        Access is denied at -e line 1.
