Re^2: Naming file handles with variables?

[Bloodnok]

No, not quite - from perlrun, we see:

-n

causes Perl to assume the following loop around your program, which ma
+kes it iterate over filename arguments somewhat like sed -n or awk:..
+.

Since it [the -n option] causes perl to iterate over the files in turn, self-evidently doesn't meet the requirements of the OP.
