Re: (tye)Re: Get file make backup

Which part of "this idiom"? The \4096 part? If that's the case, just leave it out or replace it with undef.

Sorry, I was busy and so unacceptably terse. `do { local *ARGV; @ARGV= $filename; <> }` returns nothing in Perl 5.004 and keeps reading the "current" file in Perl 5.005. I'd be interested in more testing on this as I've just got the two examples at the moment so I'm not sure if the behavior is consistant across all of 5.004 and 5.005. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l]
