File generation not working

[Anish Kumar K.]

Hi

I am facing problem with File Generation with CGI..

In a CGI Program

if (!-e "/home/anish/data.xml") {
    
     print $cgi->p("Entered Hyere");
     open OUTPUT, ">/home/anish/data.xml" || die "Cannot create the XML File";
     print OUTPUT "\<?xml version\=\"1\.0\"\?\>\n";
     print OUTPUT "\<end\>\n";
     close OUTPUT;
}

the file is not getting created....I tested this without CGI...It works fine...

Why i wanted to have CGI is I pass some parameters from HTML to the CGI script 
and then do the manipulation..

Is there any thng different I need to do?

Thanks
Anish
