Re: Perl: Directoriesand files

I would add

use autodie;
[download]

, esp since you do no error checking

Then I would fix close(/FILE\d*/); so it actually DWIMs, instead of doing nothing

Then I would add use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; [download]: Use strict warnings and diagnostics or die; Read this if you want to cut your development time in half!

I'd first write down what I want, then worry about details like what boilerplate to use. It's like getting from A to B, first worry about the type of transportation to use, before considering what colour paint the vehicle should have.	[reply]

You don't need a drivers license if you take the train, or bicycle.	[reply]

Thanks, The code does actually what I want, I just want to learn to make it more neat. it seems and it feels like I'm writing to much codes for what it does. I tried using regex to try to make the code more neat but I guess I'm going the wrong way.	[reply]
