Re^2: data leak using package

Nice try - but it's not that!!

It's got to do with renaming the file immediately before using it in the lib file. Not sure why that's happening (details above).

Thanks for your help

Nice try - but it's not that!! Actually, I think it's exactly that. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

That's great, thanks to all - using indirect File Handles would have presumably saved me from that so help from all three contributors. I'm very grateful...	[reply]

using indirect File Handles would have presumably saved me from that Indirect filehandles get automatically closed (and therefore flushed) when the variable holding them goes out of scope. So it may have solved your problem, but only if the filehandle variable went out of scope before you renamed the file. This technique doesn't automatically solve your problems. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
