Yes, this is the correct way to handle this. It is also something that should be done in any code you care about. When you open a filehandle you should explicitly close it and make sure that the close succeeded. Or understand why you are not doing that. I agree that since autodie (I still hate that name) handles half of this is would be very nice if it could somehow be persuaded to handle the other half. -- Paul Johnson - p...@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net
