Thanks for the help. So I cannot use an array or hash in angle
brackets as file handle. I have a variable amount of files which I'd
like opened and the contents shuffled. What would be the best way to
do this as my next idea also did not work?
_BEGIN_
@files=`ls /app2/koekemtn/scripts/dbstats/test`;
$num =1;
foreach $line ( @files ) {
chomp $line;
open ( $line , "$line") || die "Cannot open $files[0]\n";
$file$num = $line; # Problem assignment!
}
If you need the filehandles in an array, then use an array and read
from them using readline(), which accepts any expression:
while (my $line = readline $files[$n]) {
// ...
}
See perldoc -f readline for details.
