Re^5: In memory filehandles

You'd probably be best off just using IO::String.

It looks to me like Archive::Zip would have the same problem with any filehandle opened with the open builtin, even disk files; is this the case?

The workaround with IO::File worked fine, and it doesn't require the installation of external modules in recent perls. While probably not the best for long-term production code, I find it better for example scripts that can work with the least requirement for the user. About `open()` you're right... probably. One of the thousands things I tried involved using File::Temp to get a temporary, "real-file" handle, but the `readFromFileHandle()` method continued to complain. I had to use the filename given back by File::Temp instead of the filehandle. Flavio perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf Don't fool yourself.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
