      That's the error I get when I do:
      perl -e "open(FILE, '>nonexistant/test') or die($!);"
      Since you're creating the file, it means the path ("nonexistant/" in my case, "G:/Directory_path/" in yours) doesn't exist.

      Check for typos. Copy and paste the path from somewhere (the address bar of Windows Explorer, for example) to make sure there are no typos.

      Are you running your script as a service? G: is not likely to exist for a service.

      See what happens if you use c:/out.txt instead.

        It works when I do C:/out.txt. So I don't seem to have permissions to write to the G: drive. But I can read from the G: drive. I have set maximum permissions for the drives. I don't know what to do now.
