Re: csv file is not opening using use strict

in reply to csv file is not opening using use strict

If the file exists your program should open it fine, atleast mine does (win7), however I think your mistake may be in the opening statement. the parameter '<' is the read only .. if the file has not yet been created and you want to create it use the '>' param. also the '>>' is used for appending. Sory if this doesnt help I am thinking of other reasons why you might be getting yelled at.

open(FILE,'>',"file.csv") or die;

I don't understand; the OP clearly wants to read a file. Why suggest a change that will write a file? If the file doesn't exist, the code as posted will give an error message to that effect.
