RFI could mean various things, or none of those mentioned there. The filehandle could be named pretty much anything, though I would hope that it is a TLA relating to something within the code in question. There are various Perl RFI 'scanner' scripts around. See File Input and Output and FileHandle for further information. Update: Added the line prior to this one. Martin	[reply]

As first postings go, you could have done a lot worse. Don't worry about it, check out the PerlMonks FAQ and How do I post a question effectively? if you have not already done so. Welcome to the monastery. Martin	[reply]

Exactly the same as `open(THIS_IS_THE_NAME_I_CHOOSE_FOR_MY_FILEHANDLE, "<$mydir/$myfile")` citromatik	[reply] [d/l]
