This can be worked around by wrapping your lexical file handles with curlies print {$fh} 'Stuff to print';
Eg. D:\Perl\test>type temp2.pl8
#! perl -slw
use strict;
my @handles;
open $handles[$_], '>', "test$_.dat" for 0 .. 3;
print {$handles[$_]} 'Some text' for 0 .. 3;
for( @handles ) {
print {$_} 'Some more text';
}
D:\Perl\test>temp2.pl8
D:\Perl\test>type test*.dat
test0.dat
Some text
Some more text
test1.dat
Some text
Some more text
test2.dat
Some text
Some more text
test3.dat
Some text
Some more text
You can also use this to store your file handles in a hash which can be useful. You can even use an anonymous block to determine which handle to use at runtime. From perlfunc:print (>5.6?)
Note that if you're storing FILEHANDLES in an array or other expressio
+n, you will have to use a block returning its value instead:
print { $files[$i] } "stuff\n";
print { $OK ? STDOUT : STDERR } "stuff\n";

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).
