Re^4: and multiple statements

Required? I don't follow.

if (!open my $fh, "<", "filename")  {
    warn "Whatever";
    return;
}

is perfectly valid code. There's no requirement that that is to be written as

open my $fh, "<", "filename" or do {warn "Whatever"; return;};

Perfectly valid code, but perfectly useless because you can't use the file handle you just opened. You'd have to move the rest of the code into the `else` body.	[reply] [d/l]
