in reply to Re^9: print() on closed filehandle
in thread print() on closed filehandle

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.

    Reread the node you just responded to. That error message indicates that it probably isn't a permissions error, but that the directory open is trying to create the file in doesn't exist. open with ">" will try to create the file if needed, but won't create the directory the file should be in; that has to already exist.

      The directory exists. I have write access to this directory when I do it manually. But when I try to write to this directory with a Perl program it won't let me. Has anyone come across this before?

        Try including both $! and $^E in the or die clause and see what that shows. If you manually create an empty file with the name the perl script will use, does that make it's open work?
