Hi,

in line 140 of /usr/share/perl/5.8.4-8, the $isopen{$file} array is
accessed by the index 2. However, the array has only two elements, so
[2] is always uninitialized. This breaks file mode handling, and only
manifests itself in a warning if the calling program is run with "use
strict".

Perl 5.8.7 in unstable correctly accesses [1] here.

Without having investigated further, this might look like an issue
where files are created with wrong modes and might expose private data.

Greetings
Marc
