perl script - save content to new file

how to save the content in file A into file B??instead of displaying the result, how to ensure that the result is being saved into new file.
please help.

from the command line? use command-line re-direction...

perlcript.pl > b (overwrite)
perlscript.pl >> b (append)

from your script? change the default output file handle...

put this in your script before any print statements...

open MYFILE, ">myfile.txt";
select MYFILE;

...all output that would have went to standard out (to your command prompt) will now to to the file handle MYFILE which points to the file myfile.txt.

Note: use ">>myfile.txt"; if you would like to append data.

ok ok, thanks a lot n it can work now.

Great, glad it worked.
