One simple thing you might want to start doing is including the filename
in your error message. Quite often this message means that either
you're not in the starting directory you think you're in or part of your
filename is being interpreted as something other than what you intended.
my $file = "output_dir/simple2.html";
open OUT,">$file" or die "Can't open '$file' for writing: $!";

Subject: No Such File Error on Simple Scrape
When I execute the script below, I get the error message "No such file
or
directory at simple2.pl line 21." Line 21 is the Open OUT statement.
This script parallels a tutorial script that does work and I don't see
the
error. It does print to the screen if I comment out the Open OUT line.
Thanks in advance.
