Maybe the thinking was that Perl's STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR, came from c's (well, stdio.h's) stdin, stdout, stderr?
Which then inspired the bad idea of expanding on that?
- ksherlock 4y agoIt's more from sed/awk/shell I suppose. eg, open FH, "<filename" vs FILE *fh = fopen("filename","r")
- tyingq 4y agoFor the <,> and variations, sure. Though IO::File has been there a long time and looks a lot more like your C example. IO::Handle also. Supports, for example: $fh = IO::File->new("filename", "r"); Or, as with C, things like O_WRONLY|O_APPEND in place of "r".
