When you say "at once" do you mean, "at the exact same moment in time", or do you mean "I need to files opened at the same time"?

If the former, no single CPU computer can do it, but some multiprocessor machines may be able to, provided their operating system supports it.

If the later (more probable), then there is no problem:

open(FILE1,"</some/file/somewhere") || die "Could not open FILE1: $!\n +"; open(FILE2,"</some/other/file") || die "Could not open FILE2: $!\n";
At this point you have two files open and you can read from the first with <FILE1> and from the second with <FILE2>.

Or, if you open the files for writing, you can write to them like this:

print FILE1 "something to be written to FILE1\n";

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
