Hello monks, I have a simple script that ends up in a Permission Denied error somewhere in the loop, when trying to open files for writing. I've searched around for answers, but nothing seems conclusive enough. There are no anti-virus installed on my machine, no backup software that could lock files, etc. I've tried active perl and strawberry perl. The code: 
foreach my $lineData (@inputData) {
        
        @lineValue = split(',', $lineData);
        print $lineValue[0];
        print $lineValue[1];
        
        $output = $lineValue[0].".cfg";
        $conf = "define hostgroup{\n\thostgroup_name\t\t" . $lineValue
+[0] . "\n\talias\t\t" . $lineValue[1] . "\n}\n";
        
        open(my $fh2, ">", $output);
        print $fh2 $conf;
        close $fh2 or warn $! ? "Error closing sort pipe: $!" : "Exit 
+status $? from sort";
    }

Any thoughts? Thanks!
