Re: 'use strict' and filehandles

Why? What's the advantage of that over just using lexical filehandles?

As your script stands, however, you have no reason to pass the
filehandle to the subroutine.

Yes he does.

You can just do a "print ERRLOG $scalar" to print.

Except that he doesn't want the function to only print to ERRLOG, he
wants to choose which filehandle to print to based on what filehandle
is being passed to the function.
