Actually, I don't disagree at all on how to use PBP. It's a guide;
it's a template for starting a coding standard; it's not a cast-iron
set of rules. Nobody should follow everything in PBP, even
(especially?) Damian doesn't do that, and nobody should follow
anything in PBP without understanding *why* those best practices are
considered so.
print {$fh} $output;
is considered by some to be good style. I brought up PBP to show that
Damian Conway thinks that it's good style (or at least he did when he
wrote PBP), and to state some of the reasons he holds this view. I
don't think this is a controversial claim.
Given that Uri dislikes print {$fh} and Damian likes print {$fh} it's
clear this is a bikeshed argument. The OP should feel free to make his
own decision (or should conform to whichever style is imposed by his
team's policy).
