( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
On numerous occasions tilly has recommended File::Temp as a secure way for Perl scripts to handle temporary files.   I recently got around to following his sage advice.   Here's an elementary snippet I concocted while learning the rudiments of said CPAN module.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w # filetemptest.pl 2001-01-19 # File::Temp 0.11 File::Spec 0.82 # Perl 5.00503 Debian 2.2 "Espy" use strict; use File::Temp qw(tempfile unlink0 ); use vars qw($fh $filename); my $progname = 'filetemptest.pl'; my $template = 'filetemptestXXXXXXXXXX'; my $dir = '/tmp/'; ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir) or die " $progname: Error creating $filename: $!"; print "\nCreated file $filename.\n"; open (TMP, "> $filename") or die "$progname: Error opening $filename for WO: $!"; print TMP "\nS'working?\n" or die "$progname: Error writing to $filename: $!"; close (TMP) or die "$progname: Error closing $filename: $!"; print "Printed data to $filename\n"; print "\nUnlinking $filename\n<ENTER> to continue, CTRL+C to abort.\n" +; my $continue = (<STDIN>); unlink0 ($fh, $filename) or die "$progname: Error unlinking file $filename safely: $!";

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
