The reason is that you open STRM_AllDevices but write to STRM_ALLDevices, which has a different capitalization and is thus considered to be something else.
To avoid such problems in future, use the pragmas strict and warnings and use lexical variables for your file handles.
Example:
use warnings;
use strict;
my $AllDevices='All_Devices.txt';
my $_AllConfDir = '.';
# Listing the devices
opendir (my $dir ,$_AllConfDir) or die "Error in opening dir $_AllConf
+Dir\n";
open my $a, ">>", $AllDevices
or die "couldn't open file '$AllDevices for appending: $!";
while ( my $file = readdir($dir)) {
print $a "$file\n";
print "$file\n";
}
closedir $dir or warn $!;
close $a or warn $!;
Update: added tidied example

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
