        warn("analysis file not found"), next;

I guess the only problem with this snipped is that it prints nothing to stdout. It just blows right through missing files and keeps going.	[reply]

He meant the code then proceeds to use an unopened handle if you have `warn` without `next`. Of course, that doesn't matter if the remaining code consists of `while (<INFILE>) { ... }`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
