Could something server-side make Perl no longer write to files?

[FixItPete]

I have a script that writes to .txt files. This script has worked forever...

All of a sudden it no longer will write to files.

It will CREATE the filename, but will not open and write to it.

I've checked permissions, and the actual doesn't crash -- it simply will not write...

It sounds like the writers strike in California.

What about the machine it is on changed? Has the script been edited recently?

Can you post the code that's used to create the txt files?

Not all of it this time, please, just the bit that writes to the files...

Turns out there was a core file on the server that was pushing the quota limit and causing headaches.

UGH.

It was one heck of a day yesterday!

I predict the answer will be "yes".
