Re^4: help with error 'readline() on unopened filehandle' by bhargavkanakiya (Initiate) on Feb 03, 2013 at 08:10 UTC
i understood that and updated the code as `... open my $MYFILE , "<$filename" \|\| "Can't open the output file!"; ...` [download] then the error changed to 'readline() on closed filehandle $MYFILE' even though i have not closed the file. this is the first code that i've written using perl and i am completely new to it. any help is appreciated. thanks.
