Aah, thanks so much. I must have misread that before, never noticed the bit
about permissions. I tried changing that line before but it still didn't
work since I was trying to modify the file I created with the weird
permission (whatever permission option File::CREAT would be interpreted as).
Erasing and starting over it all works as expected, creating and overwriting
the file on subsequent calls. Thanks!
