Lexical filehandles on old (pre 5.6) Perl...

I was looking into this because of wanting to use lexical filehandles in pre 5.6 Perl.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
#
#
use strict;

my $file = 'file.txt';

local *FH;

# my $file_fh = do { *FH };
my $file_fh = \*FH;

open ($file_fh, "> $file") || die "Can't write to '$file': $!\n";

my $line = "This is some text";

print $file_fh "$line\n";

close $file_fh;


Compiling Perl modules on Solaris

You will note here that this is trying to compile XML::Parser ...
You will find the most relevent instructions for that here http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl-xml/1757618
