Hello,

Could you tell me which file in the perl sources has the source
code for the perl open function, please.

Thank You,

Could you tell me which file in the perl sources has the source
code for the perl open function, please.

In 5.8 and 5.10, the actual open function is pp_open in pp_sys.c, but
the bulk of the work is done by Perl_do_openn in doio.c. Note that
understanding either of these functions will require a working knowledge
of the perl5 internals: the perl source makes heavy use of macros, which
often do things you weren't entirely expecting.
