You want to
open a filehandle, not an array of file names.
You should
print to a file handle, not to STDOUT.
use warnings;
use strict;
my $file2 = '/tmp/foo';
print "Enter filename to search\n";
chomp( my $file = <STDIN> );
if ( -e $file ) {
die "File already Exists!\n";
}
unless ( -e $file ) {
my @appfiles = glob "*";
open my $fh, '>>', $file2 or die $!;
print $fh "List of all the files in the directory:\n";
print $fh "@appfiles\n";
close $fh;
}
