We've expanded our Perl news coverage and improved our search! Search for all things Perl across O'Reilly! Perl Resources | Topic: Text Tools Locations Locations - magical spots in your output files -- %22Locations%22 free you from the need to write output files in rigidly sequential order. They allow you to define insertion points in output files (while you are still writing to them!) which you can fill in later. Think of %22Locations%22 as folders (or drawers) containing papers in a sequential order, most of which contain printable text or data, while some may contain the name of another folder (or drawer). When dumping a location to a file, the papers contained in it are printed in their stored order. When a paper containing the name of another location is encountered, the contents of that location are processed before continuing to print the remaining papers of the current location. And so forth, in a recursive descent.
