HTML-Embperl : Read file problem

[Radovan Petrík]

Hi, 

sorry for my begginer question , i have this code in HTML-Embperl 

1  open (F , 'my_file') or die ;
2  @lines = <F>;

On line 2 embperl return error "syntax error" . Why ? 

And when I need open new file " open (F , '> my_file') or die "  then 
embperl dont open new file.

Thanks 

Rado.
