I have a two part question really, relating to the following code.

#!perl.exe use strict; use warnings; my $var1 = "test.txt"; open TST, ">>$var1" or die do { &One(); &Two(); }; print TST "Another Line\n"; close TST; sub One { print "In Sub ONE\n"; } sub Two { print "In Sub TWO\n"; }

Firstly, I need to run 2 subroutines if my open fails, the code I have come up with works but seems clumsy. To test this I have created a test.txt file and made it read only. Is there a better way to tackle what I am trying above?

Secondly, when I run the above code I alse get 1 at C:\Dev\MiscTests\sub.pl line 8. after the print in the 2 subs. What does this mean?

Many thanks
