(bbfu) Re(2): Setting a filehandle attribute for just one filehandle

I don't see how this solves the problem asked. You're still doing a local $/ = ... every time the file is read from. You're just doing it in a much more complicated manner. *shrug* The question was a little vague (IMHO) so I might be misinterpreting it...

Basically, I don't think that it can be done. If it could, I think IO::Handle would've done it.

The problem I heard asked was: How can I have a per-filehandle $/ so I don't have to do an explicit local $/ = something* every time I change file handles?* My solution answers this by moving the local $/ = ... out of the user's program entirely, and adding per-file-handle setting of $/. How is this not an improvement?	[reply]

Ah.. I guess the key word being "explicit." I guess I was thinking of it more in a sense that princepawn was trying to avoid doing the local each time through, not just hide it. As I said, different interpretations of the question. :-) Your solution certainly does accomplish your interpretation of the problem (and after a re-reading, your interpretation seems to be closer to what he was asking). ++ bbfu Seasons don't fear The Reaper.
