Re^3: Automatic generation of textfiles

[idle]

Maybe I get it wrong, but it seems to me that tamaguchi asked how to create files, not open.

[Fletch]

The example he gave was using shell redirection to capture the output of his script. And even so, it's overkill to spawn another shell when a simple { open( my $fh, ">", $newfile ) or die "open $newfile: $!\n" } would suffice.

$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo/
$ perl -e 'open F, ">bar"'
$ ls
bar
