Re: Why is the error thrown from close(FH) when the error is the missing <> on while(FH)?

in reply to Why is the error thrown from close(FH) when the error is the missing <> on while(FH)?

How did you get that far:

Global symbol "$inline" requires explicit package name at 2.pl line 6.
Global symbol "$inline" requires explicit package name at 2.pl line 7.
Global symbol "@contexts" requires explicit package name at 2.pl line 
+7.
Bareword "KNOWN_HOSTS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at 2.pl 
+line 14.
Execution of 2.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Next, is it your understanding that a while loop conditional can only be the line input operator(<>)?

Greetings It is a code fragment, not a full program. In order to actually create an executable script I would need to provide multiple files and quite a bit more code. I can do that if requested, but I was hoping that since the reason the error was thrown was given (the missing double diamond <> operator) that someone could look at this and help me understand why is was thrown from the close(FH) instead of the while(FH) where the error is. I don't think duplicating the error would tell you anything the sample does not already tell you, but I could be wrong I suppose. Cheers, TechGrrl	[reply]
