I sometimes use the following, which also resets *ARGV and $ARGV:

local *ARGV = [$path];

... but most of the time, I forget about the other slots...

Update: And I learned something. That stanza above does not reset $ARGV:

perl -wlE 'sub say_argv { say @ARGV, $ARGV; }; $ARGV=9; say_argv; do {
+ local *ARGV = ["foo"]; say_argv; }; say_argv' 1 2 3
1239
foo9
1239

If you're not in the middle of using `<>` (since the snippet I posted doesn't work if you're already in the middle of reading from `ARGV`), then it doesn't really matter if you clobber `*ARGV{IO}` and `$ARGV`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
