in thread curly braces around a lexical file handle

Thanks to all for these wonderful responses. Not only am I reassured that I'm not doing something weird without knowing it, but I feel like I understand several other things better, as well :-)

btw the reason I can't use DBI is because the script is intended to run on "foreign" machines where we may not have the luxury of installing modules (and we're doing fairly simple queries as well).

    But you do have the luxury of installing programs?

    What's the difference? What if you call DBI a program, is it then allowed to be installed?
