I think OP's original code is fine in this regard. I'd say autodie is helpful for those who know all the things that it does, or e.g. for dropping into legacy scripts that don't do enough error checking. But, as I've discovered, it can also cause problems when it's used, and its bug trackers (1, 2) show I'm not the only one. Don't get me wrong, it's a good recommendation, I just disagree that it's a "best practice" - it's just MTOWTDI.

I think OP's original code is fine in this regard. Whoops, I missed the missing `or die` in the second `open`. Nevermind that sentence.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Agreed, I didn't really mean `use autodie;` was a best practice.. should have clarified and used the `or die` instead :p	[reply] [d/l] [select]
