Dear Experts,

i wanted to run sipmle file handing program in perl.
hope this is very basic doubt which i have,
pls see the example code below,

vi tax12.pl
open(FILEHANDLE, ">file.txt") or die "cannot open file for reading: $!";
print FILEHANDLE "I love goldfishes, they're so delicious!";
close(FILEHANDLE) or die "an error occured while trying to close the file: $!";

when i run the script,it was throwing below error

tax12: syntax error at line 1 : `(' unexpected

i verified the syntax through net,it was fine only..

pls do the needful,
thanks in advance..

Try replacing the parenthesis with "space" in Line 1

One of the reasons that this solution worked is that Perl is a loosely coupled language, n often spaces work in place of parenthesis....... it also works while passing argument to a subroutine!!
