Re: Can't pass filehandle value

Perhaps you should learn how to open/close/write-to a file, and do a few beginner's tutorial on Perl monks.

use strict;
use IO::File;

my $var1='test';
my $var2='test2';

my $f = new IO::File "$var1/$var2/blah.conf","w" or die "Can't create 
+blah";
print $f <<FRED
  blah blah
  ...
FRED
;

Update: mis-interpreted the <<FRED bit. Ouch.

You code has -
open HANDLE, ">$HANDLE" or die; $HANDLE="$var1/$var2/blah.conf";

You are trying to open a file before you assign the file name? That's probably why your script didn't work in the first place.

I see you have fixed that problem in your original post.

Well, in that case you could do this - `use strict; my $var1='test'; my $var2='test2'; open HANDLE ">$var1/$var2/blah.conf" or die "Can't create blah"; print HANDLE <<FRED blah blah ... FRED ; close HANDLE;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
