creating a file

[kavi98]

When i try to create a file and write it to the path given it generates an error and the file is not created ,is it the directory rights or the way i am doing it the reason for its failure ,as i have checked the rights on the directory and there is a write access on it.

$filename = "/path/to/the/file/file$x.xml";
open(TAR,"> $filename&quot || die;

Thanks

a little tip, in change your code to:[tt]
open(...) or die($!);[/tt]
that way it'll output the failure message to STDERR, and you won't have to guess as much.

as to the question, it looks like it'll be a permissions error. the question is whether or not the user that's running the script has access to the folder. however, that's only speculation until the error message is examined.
