Well, I'm a dumb-ass. I checked the FAQ and all through the Camel book, but never checked the authoritative source, the perlfunc manpage, which states: If EXPR is omitted, the scalar variable of the same name as the FILEHANDLE contains the filename. (Note that lexical variables--those declared with my--will not work for this purpose; so if you're using my, specify EXPR in your call to open.) -- Terry Carroll | Santa Clara, CA | "The parties are advised to chill."
