<beatnik> using open($filehandle,"filename");
<beatnik> isnt really using a filehandle
<beatnik> but that's MAGIC
<beatnik> perl has about 1% magic
<isdude> hmmm, i could never see through the magic
<beatnik> the magic is there because in 99% of the cases people need ordinary things and in 1% of the cases they need something extraordinary
Ofcourse, now I'm guessing it's a bit more magic...
