Re: Output To File with Array help

[markkawika]

One of your problems is that you're attempting to print to a scalar value containing a string instead of a scalar value containing a file handle.

The first argument to print should be a file handle, not a string.

If you wanted to loop over an array of file handles and print the same output to each, you could try this:

use strict;
my $scalar = "We Be Killing Zombies Tonite";
my @array = (">poo.txt", ">moo.txt", ">doo.txt", ">goo.txt");
my @filehandle;

open($filehandle[0], $array[0]);
open($filehandle[1], $array[1]);
open($filehandle[2], $array[2]);
open($filehandle[3], $array[3]);

for my $fh (@filehandle) {
    print $fh "$scalar";
}
