in thread Why the error?
\* is called a typeglob... if you are a beginner, this is way advanced for you to understand..
in some words, this is a reference (and here a reference to a filehandle)
the * is the typeglob.
and the \ is to dereference it.
a typeglob references anything from a $scalar, to an @array on to a FILEHANDLE
