Allowing multiple opens form the same code is a great benefit, perhaps even the greatest, but who said it's the only one? davido mentions a few others, all of which IMHO are valid.

Regarding "you do your error checking on open, not close", this is not quite correct. Close can have errors, e.g. when the file is a pipe that has been closed on the other side.

And regarding die, in the first instance, I was using it as a token for "any appropriate error handling I might choose to apply here". In the second instance, you can (and I often do) achieve protection from termination by catching the die with an eval somewhere up the call train.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
