Re: Using an array of file handles

[choroba]

This behaviour is documented in perlop:

> If what's within the angle brackets is neither a filehandle nor a simple scalar variable containing a filehandle name, typeglob, or typeglob reference, it is interpreted as a filename pattern to be globbed, and either a list of filenames or the next filename in the list is returned, depending on context.

Thank you choroba, yes, I more or less knew that, but I thought that enclosing the array item between curlies was enough to solve the issue. I was obviously wrong on that.

I've used this syntax with curly brackets for writing to filehandles, quite obviously not for reading from a filehandle, contrary to what I thought to remember.
