perl create file

[be12dune09a]

sysopen (TEXT, 'myfile.txt', O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_CREAT, 0755);
printf TEXT "Check out our text file!";
close (TEXT);

where does this code save my file??

It creates it in the process' current working directory. Specify the full path if you need to create it somewhere else.

You don't usually need to use sysopen, I never have in fact. Use open() instead.
