On line 2 you're not using open correctly, and not checking the return value for success (see perlopentut). You never read from a file at all. The rest accomplishes nothing useful. Almost everything you need to accomplish this task is addressed in perlintro. Here is a solution expressed as a one-liner (which would also require reading a little from perlrun and perlrequick):
As a full script, it might look like this:
Run it as: $ ./scriptname filename.txtUpdate: It would have been polite to let us know you are following up to the question you asked here: Help with accepting inputs, wordcount, and print to a file, if for no other reason than to provide us with that additional context. Dave
