Hi all, I'm tring to open a file using sysopen but I get an error:

This is what I try to do:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$filename = "BAD_SPARSE_FILE" ;
sysopen(FH, $filename, O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0666) or die "Can't open
$filename: $!" ;
close(FH) ;

And this is the error returned by "die":
Can't open BAD_SPARSE_FILE: No such file or directory at ./sparse_file
line 3.

Could You help me?

Thank You
