File Handle Warning
When perl checking a plugin module for Links SQL I get this message:

Quote:
Unquoted string "outf" may clash with future reserved word at EditorMonitor.pm line 77.

outf is a file handle like: open (outf, ">index_$rec{'ID'}.html");

How can I modify this to remove this warning message? Do I just qoute the file handle?

open ("outf", ">index_$rec{'ID'}.html");

The easiest thing would be simply change the filehandle name.

You get this when running you script under use warnings; right?

If you're defining a file handle, you should define it as upper case so to be sure that it doesn't clash with future functions or any other reserved word. This should do the trick:

Code:
open (OUTF, ">index_$rec{'ID'}.html");

You might find the following 'Perl Style' guide a good read. This also gives you more information on where to use CAPS and where not to:
