in thread print htmlcode issue

close FH or die $!;

Does close ever fail?

To me, it seems testing the print makes more sense: 

print FH $foo or die $!;

Which can come in handy, because filehandles are not protected by strict.

    Yes,

    they can be in 5.6.1. 

    use strict;
my $fh;
open ( $fh, "> /tmp/out") or die $!;
print $fh "hallo";
close($fh);
exit 0;

    Or by using the IO modules.

    Which has the advantage of autoclosing when leaving the block.

      my $fh;

      That is a lexical, not a file handle. It can contain a reference to a glob, and can _act_ like a filehandle, but it really is not. It is a real scalar, and open doesn't change that, it only assigns a reference to it.
