in thread multiple files to multiple files

Checking for the status of the open sys calls is the most urgent thing to do.

"autodie to the rescue!" ;-)

Just add use autodie qw( open close ); to the script. It will replace the core open and close functions with wrappers that automatically check for errors.

    Sure, it is another nice way of doing it, less boilerplate coding. ++

    Yet, I often prefer to check it manually myself because I can customize the error message to make more sense to the users of my programs, who can then often solve their issues (e.g. missing file) by themselves, rather than having to ask me for help or log an anomaly ticket.
