Re (tilly) 2: Reading in from CLI (UNIX)

Why not take your advice at Two-arg open() considered dangerous and switch to the 3-arg version of the same?

Sure, it doesn't make any real difference here, but a good habit is to be encouraged at all turns. :-)

Using three-arg open for '<&3' would be a good idea, if only it were possible. But my docs say it's not, at least in 5.6. Quoting perldoc -f open: Duping file handles is not yet supported for 3-argument open(). <getsmart>Missed it by this much.</getsmart> -- Chip Salzenberg, Free-Floating Agent of Chaos	[reply]

D'oh. It is supported in bleadperl, which was the documentation that I looked up before posting... My bad.	[reply]
