HI,

Try this,

Below code is to create empty file.
Code:
open(FW,">/root/ps.txt");
print FW "";

below code is to match directory name end with ".db"
Code:

use 3 argument style and failure condition handling as well
Code:
my $lfh;
open($lfh, '>', $filename) or
die "Unable to open file $filename : $!";
close($lfh) or die "Unable to close file : $filename $!";
