> So, joyfully, I wrote the following:
use FileHandle;
foreach my $key (0 .. 34) {
$fh = new FileHandle "> VTOL$key";
$flist{$key} = $fh;
print $flist{$key} "Header info\n";
}
> But it will not compile, it errors with:
C:\>VTOLparser.pl
String found where operator expected at C:\VTOLparser.pl line 9, near "
} "Header info\n""
(Missing operator before "Header info\n"?)
I saw this somewhere else, there's something about the list context of
print that keeps it from treating the stored filehandle properly. I recall
from Perl Best Practices the suggestion to use curlies to make clear that
the first entry is a filehandle and not something else.:
use FileHandle;
my %flist;
foreach my $key (0 .. 34) {
my $fh = new FileHandle "> VTOL$key";
$flist{$key} = $fh;
print { $flist{$key} } "Header info\n";
}
anyway that works.
