OT:Perl on Windows

[William O'Higgins]

I am doing some mechanical text processing at work, and it seemed to me
that I could do it with Perl, but now I'm not so sure.

Does anyone have any advice for some who wants to write a program like
this on Windows:

open an input file
read file contents into string
run regex on string
open an output file
print string to output file

On a proper OS it would be easy - there might be permission problems,
but I could overcome.  The problem right now seems to be that my program
cannot read the contents of a file, nor can it create an output file.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.
-- 

yours,

William
