Re^2: unable to open input file

Right ... and a third one. There is a bit of debate whether heredocs (see quotelike operators: <<EOF)] are evil for this purpose, but it might be an option here for short scripts. However, if the project grows bigger, separation of content and format will become necessary ... (e.g. by using templates).

open(OUT, ">",$outputFile) or die "couldn't open outputfile: $!";
print OUT <<'END_HEADER';   # '...' no interpolation
<HTML>
  <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Detailed Table of Contents</TITLE>
  </HEAD>
END_HEADER

print OUT <<"END_BODY";    # "..." with interpolation
  <BODY>
    <H1>File: $outputFile</H1>
  </BODY>
</HTML>
END_BODY
