Re: Use of Typeglobby dsb (Chaplain) |

Seems like several of the previous posters used a typeglob to have a passable version of a filehandle. By passable, I mean that the filehandle can be passed into a function or placed in some other list form like an array.
In Seven Useful Uses of local, Tachyon demonstrates a pretty neat way of accomplishing just that. Tachyon's explanation: do just introduces a block which will be evaluated, and will return the value of the last expression that it contains, which in this case is local *FH. The value of local *FH is a glob. But what glob?
