Re: [MacPerl] IO:: problems

Regarding your message on 18 Sep 1997 18:36:49 U

You do need some brackets I think:

>#!perl -w
>
>use IO::File;
>
>print "Droped @ARGV\n";
>$FileName = $ARGV[0];
># Uncomment the following to change ":" to "/"
>#$FileName =~ s/:/\//g;
>print "FileName = " . $FileName . "\n";
>$File = new IO::File($FileName);
_____________________^_________^
>print "FileRef = " . ref($File) . "\n";
>print $File->getline . "\n";
>$File->close;

That seems to work with a file from anywhere on the HD.
