Hi,
I want to do some processing on set of files and write the $result into a ".html" file. But this result need to be stored into "result_dir" directory.

What's wrong with my code below, such that it doesn't write the result into the desired directory? 
foreach my $file (@files) {
  my  $OUTFILE_fname = $file.".html";     # output file name

    open ( OUTFILE, '>', result_dir/$OUTFILE_fname )
        or croak "$0 : failed this file $OUTFILE_fname : $!\n";

    my $result  = process($file);

    print OUTFILE $result;

    close ( OUTFILE );         # close output file
}

Update: Correction made, from $OUTFILE_file_name into $OUTFILE_fname. Thanks to Ultra's suggestion. But problem remains.
Update2: Problem solved. Thanks to all.
