Maybe I do not understand the meaning of 'tutorial', but as far as I know a tutorial is a means the get things going. A starter document. This would imply that it is not necessary, even not desired, to mention all bells and whistles. As such, two-arg-open can stay out of a perlopentut, despite that "It's still there, and with such a frequency". The tutorial is IIUC not intended to be able to understand all perl code that you may encounter, it is to get going developing your own programs. -- JohanThread Previous | Thread Next
