The L module provides a nice object-oriented interface to filehandles, which I think is more elegant anyway. open( $fh, '>output.txt' ); # not ok open( $fh, q{>}, 'output.txt' ); # ok use IO::File; my $fh = IO::File->new( 'output.txt', q{>} ); # even better! It's also more explicitly clear to define the input mode of the file, as in the difference between these two: open( $fh, 'foo.txt' ); # BAD: Reader must think what default mode is open( $fh, '<', 'foo.txt' ); # GOOD: Reader can see open mode There is also a one-argument form of C which retrieves the expression to open from the global variable with the same name as the handle, but this has the same problems as the two-argument form, and adds in more ambiguity. our $FH = ' in it. =head1 CONFIGURATION This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. =head1 NOTES There is one case in which you are forced to use the two-argument form of open: when doing a safe pipe open, as described in L. =head1 SEE ALSO L L =head1 AUTHOR Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2005-2021 Imaginative Software Systems.
