in thread how to create a perl program using filehandle and streams ?

Wow! when i run the following script then hello! can be seen inside "not.txt" file after once scrip is run

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

open (FILEHANDLE, ">not.txt") or die ("Cannot open not.txt");
print FILEHANDLE "hello!";
close (FILEHANDLE);

it means book assumed me as knower of perl so it didn't mentioned to write 

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

[download]

before that script.anyway in the book above example the line is" Here's an example in which we open a file for output and print some text to that file". So i think it just replaced(or write) that whole script into word "hello"! and if i write different word then that word will be there after scrip running.

    I've already questioned why you'd want to do this, you didn't answer.

    "it means book assumed me as knower of perl so it didn't mentioned to write:..."

    I have no idea what book you're talking about. For all I know this is explained in a previous section of the text. It's also possible that you didn't follow the books written instructions properly. I don't believe the book told you to save the perl script as not.txt, which the example script overwrites.

      Maybe the book was just trying to see how dumb the reader was as a way of eliminating those not suitable for learning to program?

      I am talking about perl black book. Actually i just wanted to run this script & to know about what FILEHANDLE does in the script by running.

        Here you mention you have "some chapters" from this book, and that some of the print is bad. You've been given links several times now to up to date Perl documentation as well as tutorials and other resources for learning Perl. IMHO this is a better starting than some extracts of dubious (print) quality.
