After reading Randal's March 2000 LM column and learning that you can
assign a filehandle to a scalar by doing something like:
open(FILE, $filename) or die "whatever";
$value = *FILE{IO};
I am wondering if there are other, perhaps better, ways of doing this?
FYI, I googled for "assigning filehandle to variable perl" and a
couple other searches, but only came up with pages directing how to
read from a filehandle into a scalar.
Regards,
Roman
