Where can I find out more about lexicals? I see "my
$file" and don't
know what it means.
Thanks.

Where's your error checking?
At a minimum, always write these as:
open FH, ">$file" or die "Cannot
create: $!";
until you want to do something other than die.
Jabir> print FH $string;
Jabir> close (FH);
Jabir> }
Also, $file and $string should be lexicals (my $file, etc).
