reading from a text file

[Limeburner72]

Hi,
I'm trying to write a program which reads from a text file but the output is always:Couldn't open a file.The path of file is C:\Perl\perlscr ipts.Where should I place this text file ?

Paste the code here for debug.

Hi,
here is the code:

use warnings;
open(FILEHANDLE ,"school.txt ") or die"Couldn't open file:$!";
while ($line = <STDIN>)
{
while ($line =~ s/(\w+)(.*)/$2/)
{
$word = $1;
$wordHash{$word }++;
}
}
while (($word, $count) = each(%wordHash) )
{
$wordHash[$i] = "$word\t$count" ;
$i++;
print ("$word\n");
}
close(FILEHANDL E);

place the file so that the relative path is correct... i.e. in the same folder in your case

or specify the whole path C:/perl.... yeah, slashes go the wrong way
