Jay, please start usin' the lexical handles! So you can say open( my $IN, $file ) or die "Can't open $file: $!\n"; Using the old-style handles is dangerous.
-ponder- I've always used open(IN, $file) or gone full OO w/ use FileHandle; my $fh = FileHandle->new;I'm not hep to your voodoo. "perldoc -f open" still seems to use my "old-style" too. I must be old if my Perl 5 methods are outdated before Perl 5 is. :)
You can also shorten it reaaaally short like so:
$ perl -lne'print "$ARGV: $_" if /^.{69}000/' *dly
Ah, $ARGV is very cool! I knew the rest of that but hadn't learned $ARGV. Thanks!
