Re^15: print() on closed filehandle

Sorry I'm wrong ..... I tried again to create the file in advance ..... and it works this time when I do that. So the take home point from this discussion is that when using ">" to create or use a file on a shared Network, within a MS environment, then the file will not be created in the event of it being absent. Perhaps this is something that the Perl developers need to look at.

No, that's not true. I write perl on Windows all the time including using > to create new files and also including doing this on network shares. I was doing that just yesterday. Whatever it was that was wrong, it is something in the configuration on your end, perhaps in permissions.	[reply]

I doubt it is as simple as that; knowing what $^E is when the open fails may provide some insight into what factors make the problem manifest.	[reply]
