    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.

        I'm thinking that, for some reason, admin privilege is being dropped when the Perl run time is started. Don't know if MS Windows is doing that or Perl is. My guess would be MS Windows.

        Hm. Does strawberry perl emulate the default chmod thing that *nix uses? Has the default value been set to some weird value?

        Basically, there is something screwed in your perl installation.
