<br>
I cannot get PERL to write to a file. The file, named input, is set<br>
at 777 and I think the syntax in the script is correct. Does PERL<br>
require other permissions? I am runing centOS 5.4. The code is:<br>
<br>
open (INPIPE, '>/opt/input');<br>
<br>
print INPIPE "$data";<br>
<br>
close (INPIPE);<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for your help.<br>
