"Cannot create file C:\Program Files\Perl Express\Debug\Out10.txt"	Can't Post

Hello Everyone!

I am new to Perl and to this forum as well. Just started learning Perl through Teach youself Perl in 21 days. I have installed Perl Express to get work with Perl.

And I am encountering an error while running a sample program on arrays that, "Cannot create file C:\Program Files\Perl Express\Debug\Out10.txt" and not able to run the program that ll take inputs from the user. Other sample programs are running fine. The code is below:

print ("Enter the start number");
$start = <STDIN>;
chop($start);

print ("Enter the end number");
$end = <STDIN>;
chop($end);

# print ("Make a list range \n");
@list = ($start..$end);

$count = 0;

print ("Here is the list: ");
while ($list[$count]!=0 || $list[$count-1]==-1 || $list[$count+1]==1) {
print ("$list[$count] \n");
$count++;
}

Kindly let me know what this error is all about and how to resolve this error.

Thanks in advance!

I do not understand why it is trying to create that file, but does the path C:\Program Files\Perl Express\Debug\ exist? In oher words, is there de Debug directory under C:\Program Files\Perl Express?

If not, creating it might just solve the issue.

Thanks for your response!

Yes, there exists a Debug folder in Perl Express folder and also there is a Out10.txt file inside that Debug. I am not able to open that txt file. And not able to run my program too. This error happens occasionally while running different sample programs. This seems to be a petty error; not able to figure out what/ why it occurs though.

It's not possible to get that error from the code you posted.

Do you have any code in your script that attempts to open a file? If not, then you must have some kind of funky misconfiguration of your IDE.

Try running your scripts outside of the IDE.
