Hello, I have a wish for Perl 6. I would like if the open-funktion opens only a file if it doesn't exist. Of course, I can first test if the file exist.
if (-e $filename) { print "file already exists!"; } else { open (FH, ">$filename") } My suggestion is to have a character for the open-mode-character that indicate that the file should not already exist. For example: open (FH, "?>$filename") || die "can't open $filename: $!"; Gerd
