I have installed strawberry perl in windows XP, i am studying about Perl file handle and streams, for this i took a look at C,C++ file handle i.e print,scan,printf,scanf and i know keyboard and screen as streams for C,C++.I am confused that to start with C,C++, i used to name a program by clicking new and then by naming a program i click "save as" in both C,C++ and then i open a that named file for writing a program into it and at last i click save and whenever i need to run that program i open that program, but how i can start with perl? i am studying file handle, and how streams are similar to file handle so i am studying it from perlopentut,where i got confused beacuse i couldn't use the examples given there to write a perl program. i have opened strawberry perl in windows and from the command line interface i tried to create perl program, i think this is wrong. Please help me. i am trying to understand creating,opening,editing,closing a perl program, then i would know what is the function of filehandle, do it retain data of file opened by function open or what it does and i think streams are similar as in C,C++ in perl also ?
