Re^3: Hash Pipe Problem

Its telling you how that bit of code was parsed. per perlop, If what's within the angle brackets is neither a filehandle nor a simple scalar variable containing a filehandle name, typeglob, or typeglob reference, it is interpreted as a filename pattern to be globbed

<FOO> <$FOO> is readline, but <$foo{barr}> is glob

So is the problem because the handle is to a pipe and not a file? Would it have worked on a regular file handle?	[reply] [d/l]

No. Thing is that it's not a simple scalar (as the docs say). If you assign it to an intermediate variable, such as $fh, it would work. `my $fh = $ProcesseHandle{$Type}; $Line{$Type} = <$fh>;` [download] Also note that whitespace, as in `< $fh >`, isn't allowed either.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`$Line{$Type} = readline $ProcesseHandle{$Type};` [download] Time to put down the the hash pipe :)	[reply] [d/l]
