one line creat and write to file?

[Dan Muey]

I'm tryin got find the quickest way to creat a file and write to it.
 
I know I can do 
open....
print FILEHANDLE $stuff;
close...
and perhaps ad some flocks for good measure
 
what I'm wondering is if there is a one line way to do it
something like
 
createfile("filename.txt",$content);
 
something as quick and short as unlink but in reverse
 
thanks
