Copy input to log file in perl
Can anyone please correct the code. I am trying to copy the user input to an output file log.txt:
the script works fine but when I am trying to copy the user input error is generated.

Thanks in advance.


Code:
 
#!/usr/bin/perl
$temp = "/home/log.txt";
 $reply = "";
 print 'Enter the code:  ';
 chomp ($reply = <STDIN>);
 cp $reply $temp;
 if ($reply eq '')
 {
 print "\n";
 print "Get the code number before executing the script\n\n";
 }

Replace your copy line with the below.
Code:
`cp $reply $temp`;
