"Everything seems to go well, but nothing is created. Am I using the right syntax?"

So your trying to create a file?

try

open(file,"> file.txt");
print file "lala\n";
close(file);

If you want it to create the file then you need to chmod the directory 777, if you want the program to update the file you need to chmod the file its self 777.

Is the file CHMOD correctly? You will need to chmod it to 755 or 777, so that the script has access to write to a file.

Always check if your open worked:

code:

open(LAL, ">lalal.txt") | | die( "$!" );
print LAL "$lalal\n";
close(LAL);
[/code]
