You need to look for open / close. Example:
open(TMP, "> test.file")
|| die "Can't open test.file: $! \n";
>From there you are printing to it
print TMP "Whatever you are wanting to get into the file";
And closing
Close(TMP);

Subject: about creating a file in directory
Hi,
It seems pretty easy to unlink a file from a directory, but
wherever describes unlinking file has no counterpart on create a file.
I did perldoc -q file: got what seemed to be what I need,
then tested my program, no good:
opendir PDB,"SCRATCH" or die "cannot open the SCRATCH dir:$!"; my
@GG=grep{!/^./ && !/^../} readdir(PDB); #to store all the file names in the
array @GG my $NN=scalar (@GG+1); $filenamie="PDB_$NN.txt"; open
LOO,">>SCRATCH/$filenamie" or die "cannot open the SCRATCH/$filenamie:$!";
sysopen(LOO, "SCRATCH/$filenamie", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT) || die
$!;
sysopen(LOO, "SCRATCH/$filenamie", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0666) || die
$!; select LOO; print "linking was successful!";
This didn't work.
What was wrong?
thanks a lot.
best,
