Any trouble with the code??

Author Name Status Posted Time Saul Toropein 12/14/2007 2:26:05 AM Author is Offline can someone tell me what is wrong with the bold code? i am just learning perl. the program should create a perl file with a random name (5 letters, followed by a number), but the name is always just the number. whats wrong with my code? Code: ( perl ) #!/usr/bin/perl use Fcntl; @array = (a..z); srand; foreach (1..5) {    $name = int(rand scalar(@array));    print $array[$name];    splice(@array,$name,1);    } print "content-type: text/perl \n\n"; [B]sysopen (PERL, "$name.pl", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_CREAT, 0755);[/B] printf PERL '#!/usr/bin/perl'; printf PERL "\n\n"; printf PERL 'print "hello world!";'; printf PERL "\n"; printf PERL 'sleep(3);'; close (PERL);

Post Comments Re: string of 5 letters Saul Toropein 12/15/2007 2:54:36 AM Kelpein, $name is a random string of 5 letters followed by a number, but at least for me, the files created lack the 5 letters. i tried adding a print "$name" and it printed 5 letters and a number though. Post Comments Re: No idea, sorry Kelpein Petcull 12/15/2007 2:55:48 AM I have no idea why your system will not create a file with the letters and numbers. Maybe someo ne else will be able to shed some light on this odd problem. Post Comments Re: Thank you!!! Saul Toropein 12/15/2007 2:57:08 AM Kelpein, Thanks, i'll try running it in ubuntu, since i am currently using windows xp. you said it did work on your system? and what os are you running? Post Comments Re: Only printed the random strings Kelpein Petcull 12/15/2007 2:59:05 AM I didn't actually check to see if the code created a file. I only printed the random string s out to the screen. I assume it would create a file with the random string, I can't see an y reason why it would not. I tested the code on my old windows 98 test server. Post Comments
