| | | | | | | | | | | Patch made by rjbs, from <10107.1361064602@chthon> > Nearly [all of perlopentut] is non-simple. That is not a tutorial, > and it is not just about open. It is more like "FMTEYEWTK About > open() and I/O in Perl". If the goal is to create a document that > teaches people how to use open() for the simple cases, then there > is no hope for perlopentut. It cannot be turned into that, > because that is not what it is. You have to start over.
* Docs: Use the symbol `C<< < >>' rather than `less-than'.Michael Witten2011-03-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to Tom Christiansen for pointing out that the original replacement: C< < > does not ignore the whitespace. See: Message-ID: <28746.1301262347@chthon> Signed-off-by: Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>
* Further clarification on indirect filehandlesA. Sinan Unur2010-10-041-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent discussion on Stackoverflow.com indicated to me that there is some potential for confusion in the "Indirect Filehandles" section in perlopentut.pod. See comments to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3661161/writing-a-macro-in-perl/3661239#36612 39 The attached patch is my attempt at clarifying that indirect filehandles are closed when there are no more references to them rather than simply when the end of the current lexical scope is reached. I also added an example of returning such a filehandle from a subroutine. I am not sure if this is the best way to word it, so I would appreciate feedback. The patch is attached. -- Sinan
* PATCH: minor typo cleanup of pod/ directoryTom Christiansen2010-01-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are all in the pod/ directory, and only the first is a code fix. There was also a single lingering ISO 8859-1 encoding that missed the UTF-8 upconvert. The rest are cleanups for typos, some of which seem to have been around for a rather long time: spelling errors, incorrect possessives, and extra, missing, or duplicated words. If you actually read through, I bet you'll realize what sparked this. :) --tom Signed-off-by: Abigail <abigail@abigail.be>
