Re: Setting a filehandle attribute for just one filehandle

You can do this:

use IO::Handle;
$fh->input_record_separator( "<!>" );

update: princepawn is right, there's only one $/ . I suppose you could tie the handle and change $/ around each READLINE.

I'm afriad I don't agree with you. Per the IO::Handle manpage: `The following methods are not supported on a per-filehandle basis. IO::Handle->format_line_break_characters( [STR] ) $: IO::Handle->format_formfeed( [STR]) $^L IO::Handle->output_field_separator( [STR] ) $, IO::Handle->output_record_separator( [STR] ) $\ IO::Handle->input_record_separator( [STR] ) $/` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
