Re^2: Open Filehandle once

[kcott]

"... only two file-handles ... potential number of file-handles is in fact indeterminate ... "

The OP's opening remarks clearly state:

"My Script does a lot of "if"query's. ... This happens in my script 20 times."

He then went on to clearly indicate:

"An example for my Script ..."

In that example, he showed two if blocks. This is a good thing: he probably would have received some negative comments had he posted all twenty if blocks.

"Only the OP will know for sure ..."

He does know for sure! He's clearly stated 20.

The first if chooses between path1 and path2; so does the second. Is path1 the same in every if block, or should the second block have said path3 and path4? It's not clear.
