Bit bucket claims old data
Never to return

Only declare once
Vanquish data entropy;
Your comment is right

There must be another option.
Could you do this?

open FH, $file1 or $file2 or die $!;
my @entries = <FH>;
close FH;

Mea culpa. You can't say `open FH, $file1 or $file2 or die "Rats!\n";` Stick with the earlier poster's suggestion: `$fh = $file1 \|\| $file2; open FH, $fh or die $!; etc` [download] Sorry 'bout that. Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
