Using symlink

Hi all,

I know that when you use symlink in Perl, you are creating a symbolic link from one file to another. My question is, say you linked file A to file B, then you used file B as input for another program, whose output is also a file. Is the resulting file a symlink file, too? I've done this and the resultant file is giving me some problems.

Thanks in advance for any help!

No, the file created by your program will not have any connection to the source file.
