in reply to Re^6: Naming file handles with variables?
in thread Naming file handles with variables?

Are there any advantages to $foo@foo = 'var' over push @foo, 'var'?

Maybe if you are playing golf? In the context I used it using push meant using a temporary variable and another line for the push so in that context there may be an advantage if you are comfortable with the technique.

I suspect the map technique may be more prone to error than the $foo[@foo] technique. ;)
