This is great! (++ for you) One last question, then I'll be quiet for a while: Is there a way to change the subroutine call to use a file handle rather than a typeglob? i.e. 
rdw_open(FH, "myfile") or die "Couldn't open myfile: $!";

I'd like to make this look like regular open as much as possible, and the level of peoples perl around these parts is not so great as to remember why they need the * in front of their filehandle.

Thanks,
thor
