Discipulus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks
I try learn to code, testing and retesting.. It pass a very strange think: I find the text of my code in the output!!

open (TEMPO, "+>c:\\winnt\\temp\\hash.tmp");
print (TEMPO "aba uba\niba seba\njak yuk\n");

############open  (TEMPO, "<c:\\winnt\\temp\\hash.tmp");   
while (<TEMPO>)                                 
{
 print;
}

If you uncomment the new open all runs normally 'cause Perl close th FH and reopen it for reading.
But, without commenting this line why I find in my output file a slice of my code ???
and on the screen some garbage and smiles ??
cheers for any explication
lor*

PS may be I have not to code when I have fever??

    The first open opens c:\winnt\temp\hash.tmp for reading and for writing, but you didn't do a seek to the beginning of the file when you started reading.
    Perhaps another wise monk could explain here, but I'm going to guess that since the file was never closed, its not reading an end of file marker and is just pushing out whatever is left in its stack.
    You may have noticed the print statement never prints out to STDOUT

    aba uba
    niba seba
    njak yuk

    Add a seek and all may be well again:
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

open (TEMPO, "+>c:\\winnt\\temp\\hash.tmp");
print (TEMPO "aba uba\niba seba\njak yuk\n");

############open  (TEMPO, "<c:\\winnt\\temp\\hash.tmp");   

seek TEMPO, 0, 0;

while (<TEMPO>)                                 
{
 print;
}
