Greetings, kcott.

Odd. It seemed to work for me. In fact, it was by virtue of testing it. That I discovered what I termed as being a HOMER moment above, was wrong.

I'm afraid I was so embarrassed by the earlier example. I corrected it. Bad choice. I'd return it. But, now, I'm afraid I'll just mess up the order worse.

So for the sake of clarity. I'll post my HOMER moment here: 

system("echo test > myfile.txt") or die $!;

Sorry for messing things up. I'll just "suck up", and eat my mistakes in the future. Or better, take more care not make any. ;)

Best wishes.

Hey. I'm not completely useless. I can be used as a bad example.
