And if you want to get really evil (read nonportable, and somewhat unreliable) you can sometimes associate the filenum back to a filename. Warning: this code is fragile, won't always work, and will only work on unix. `my $fileno = fileno($fh); my $filename = readlink("/dev/fd/" . $fileno);` [download] See: Re: Re: Can you delete a file by descriptor? -Blake	[reply] [d/l]
