IO::File
Normal use of filehandles:
open FH, ">$file" or die "Cannot write file [$file]: $!\n"; |
All well and good, but what if you forget to close FH ?
- exit the script, file is closed in garbage collection
- open the same FH handler and the previous file is closed before opening.
- But that can mean your file may be open for a very long time.
- Could block access to the file for other processes
