Re: When do filehandles close?

[jZed]

Try for yourself (with the commented line commented and then uncommented):

#!perl -w
use strict;
$|=1;
writefile();
print FILE "goodbye\n";
print `cat tmptmp`;

sub writefile {
    # local *FILE;
    open (FILE, ">tmptmp") or die $!;
    print FILE "hello\n";
}
