Question

I want to write the key and value pair that i have populated in the hash.I am using

open(OUTFILE,">>output_file.txt");
{
    foreach my $name(keys %HoH) {
        my $values = $HoH{$name};
        print "$name: $values\n";
    }
}
close(OUTFILE); 

Somehow it creates the output_file.txt but it does not write the data to it.What could be the reason?

Answer 1

Use:

 print OUTFILE "$name: $values\n";

Without specifying the filehandle in the print statement, you are printing to STDOUT, which is by default the console.
