How come you don't use $fh? I'd've thought ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir)
or die " $progname: Error creating $filename: $!";
would be mean ... ah. $fh is usable, so: print $fh "\nS'working?\n"
or die "$progname: Error writing to $filename: $!";
close ($fh)
or die "$progname: Error closing $filename: $!";
print "Printed data to $filename\n";
works but once you close ($fh), its gone. By open(TMP, $filename ..
you get a 2nd link and you can open and close TMP and still
have the tmpfile $filename to work w/. On winx, I needed
to $| = 1 for
$fh|TMP to have any content in it (that I could see from another
process), and if I *don't* close TMP
the file is left around afterwards. I suppose this is
what its supposed to do ... be good for semaphore files, hmm
'cept for its effort at unique file names might make
expecting one difficult. The template'd work for that
though.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
