[comp.lang.perl] man page bug

tchrist@convex.com (Tom Christiansen) (08/09/90)

The perl man page has the following line under the flock example:

	open(MBOX, ">>/usr/spool/mail/$USER")
	    || die "Can't open mailbox: $!";

This should really be:

	open(MBOX, ">>/usr/spool/mail/$ENV{'USER'}")
	    || die "Can't open mailbox: $!";
