Files, Mail

• You can use Perl to write to a file on the server, or generate an e-mail.
• You can save user data in a file, and access it the next time the user logs in.
• Or, you can have Perl generate an HTML page.  When did we do this in class?
• First, you open the file.  Then, writing to the file is similar to writing to a web page.
• Generating an e-mail is similar to writing to a file.  You open it much the same way, and then write your message.
