Im still practicing with Perl and now Im trying to open a file, and copy its contents to another file. Them I want to remeove the information out of the orginal file after it is copied over.
The flow should be messages-->messages1-->messages2.
Kind of like a log rotator.
Here is what I have:
Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$username = "rgoforth"
$filename = "/home/".$username."/messages";
$mess = "/home/".$username."/messages"/messages";
$mess1 = "/home/".$username."/messages"/messages.1";
$mess2 = "/home/".$username."/messages"/messages.2";
$mess3 = "/home/".$username."/messages"/messages.3";
$mess4 = "/home/".$username."/messages"/messages.4";
if (-e $filename){
open (FILE, ">$mess") or die $!;
print (FILE $mess1);
close (FILE);
}else{
print "Error: $filename doesn't exist\n";
But I cant seem to get past the strings. I have been looking at it for a while and I thought it might help to have some experts look at it.
Folks, here is my code:

Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatPerl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen(3pm)NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen - Write "my $error = open $fh, $mode, $filename;" instead of "open $fh, $mode,
$filename;".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
The perl builtin I/O function "open" returns a false value on failure. That value should always be checked to ensure that the open was
successful.
my $error = open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ); # ok
open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ) or die "unable to open: $!"; # ok
open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ); # not ok
use autodie;
open $filehandle, $mode, $filename; # ok
You can use autodie, Fatal, or Fatal::Exception to get around this. Currently, autodie is not properly treated as a pragma; its lexical
effects aren't taken into account.
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
