Re^2: Naming file handles with variables?

If I use,

while ($line1 = <FILE1> ||
           $line2 = <FILE2> ||
           $line3 = <FILE3>) {
     #do stuff with each line
}
[download]

It says, Can't modify logical or (||) in scalar assignment at pl7.pl line 28, near "<FILE3>) " Execution of pl7.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

We have to use 'or'

You can also wrap the assignment in parentheses, but I qualified my statement with "logically" to address what the code was conceptually doing.	[reply]
