Personally I really wish you had kept the changes to use lexically
scoped filehandles.
That's fine. I'm certainly not *against* lexically scoped indirect

to *mention* them:(--provided it doesn't complicate things or
after I posted my series of patches to perlipc.pod , I saw that
tchrist posted his version, which got accepted immediately. As a

It's the isolated snippets like the zillion I last night pointed out in
perlfunc where I feel all the declaration detracts from the point.
If you believe that every possible example in Perl needs to be fully
