in reply to opening filehandles, creating files

I've got to ask this. If you get an error message no such file or directory, what makes you do things like turning off tainting, turning off strictness, or the other things you list. What possible relationship can they have with no such file or directory?

    The filename is supposed to include a piece of data from another file -- that's why I was looking at taint, strict, etc.

    Progress is coming slowly -- right now, I am writing to a file, but the filename does not include the piece of data from another file.
