Short answer: I don't think you can. Either you're not supposed to close $fh (unlink0 will handle that) or your first method: open a 2nd link and go from there. One hopes tilly|tye|chipmunk will be along w/ the correct answer real soon now ...

You have the correct answer. And indeed it is addressed in the documentation. `unlink0` performs checks that depend on having both the filename and the open filehandle, and if you do the close yourself it cannot verify that the close was safe.	[reply]
