You could use Typeglobs, but that's icky, (unless you're pre 5.0 - then
you'll have to)
The best way to do it is through the FileHandle module. i.e.:
#Use FileHandle;
#
#sub printfile($) {
# my $filename = shift;
# my $filehandle = FileHandle->new();
# open $filehandle, $filename or die "Can't open $filename";
#
# while (<$filehandle>) { print; }
#}
Hope this helps
