Writing scipt to a file from a script

[mediais]

In attempting to build an installer I want to install numerous perl scripts from one perl script installer. Keep getting error 'can't modify constant item in scalar assignment' and for the life of me I can't find why.<br><br>short code example:<br><br>open (ADMIN,&quot;&gt;admin.cgi&quot ¦¦ die &quot;Can't write new file admin.cgi: $!\n&quot;;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;flock(ADMIN,2);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;print ADMIN = &quot;\&035\;\!/usr/bin/perl\n&quot;;<br>[removed other lines]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;close (ADMIN);<br><br>no matter what is on the first print line it still returns the same error. But if nothing is there it will create a nice empty admin.cgi .<br><br>help?<br><br>thanks<br><br>lee<br> <p>Lee Hempfling<br><a href=mailto:lkh@mediais.com>lkh@mediais.com</a><br><a href=
